Basic Manual Speeches I've Given
I created this page to suggest ideas and share some of my experiences.
Speaking from personal experience, I have learned you can neither use
another person's speech, nor prepare a speech for someone else. This is because
the emotions involved are personal and are usually not effective for others.
You may feel that some of these speeches are informative in terms of there
content, and decide that your own clubs' newsletter could benefit from the
inclusion of some of these speeches. Should you so decide, please include the
entire speech and I would greatly appreciate receiving a copy of your
newsletter. Please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or
want to share your experiences.
There are two other sets of basic manual speeches that
I am aware of on the internet. They are by Brian
Jenner of England and a woman using the name Marmalade
in Australia. You can access their speeches through my
site by going to the "Great Foreign Pages."
