Discover Winter Magic with Toastmasters in Ludwigshafen

Are you ready to embrace the warmth and togetherness of the winter season? Join us for a series of delightful and cozy winter activities. We hold our regular meetings in a hybrid format right on site at BASF, offering the perfect blend of in-person and virtual interaction. In 2024, we will have a select few meetings, ensuring each one is intimate and full of engaging experiences.

Our meetings are known for their supportive and welcoming atmosphere, where members come together to improve their public speaking and leadership skills. This winter, we’re adding a special touch to our gatherings with a Season’s Special White Elephant Gift Exchange — a fun and festive way to share laughter and unique gifts.

But that’s not all! We also have a Winter Market Get-Together planned, complete with hot mulled wine to keep you warm and spirited. It’s a fantastic opportunity for both guests and members to mingle and connect in a relaxed setting.

If you’re new to Toastmasters, this is the perfect chance to get to know our Club at BASF. Come experience the magic of winter with us and see how we can help you grow and thrive!

White Elephant Gift Exchange 2021

Dear Toastmasters and Guests,

You are cordially invited to join our Online Christmas special event, where we are going to unwrap our virtual Christmas gift and take a look into fellow members’ home offices. All of that will we in Toastmasters style which means you’ll have a lot of opportunity to train your public speaking skills.

For those wanting to join, we kindly ask you to send the following pictures to elephant@basf-toastmasters.com

  • your Christmas gift, e.g. a funny, strange, spectacular object you would like one of the participants to receive as a gift (and create a spontaneous speech related to that)
  • your personal home office, the place where you work in these times at home (this will be also shared during our session — “Which place belongs to Whom?”)

Once you’ve sent these pictures we will share the link for the online event with you! We look forward to having a wonderful and entertaining evening together with you.

Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact us. Our first meeting in 2022 will be on 10 January.

Yours sincerely,
Club Officers
