The Soualiga Toastmasters Club invites the general public to walk around the pond on Saturday, October 3, 2009. This walk-a-thon exercise morning slated to start at 5:00 am is a fundraising event held in an effort to raise funds for members to attend the Annual Caribbean Conference, which will take place in Barbados, from October 16th to 18th, 2009.
The Soualiga Toastmasters Club was initiated in 2004 by the Island Government as a means to empower its employees, the civil servants. Its mission is to provide a supportive and positive learning environment where members have the opportunity to develop oral communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.
“As we continue to offer communication and leadership skills to our members, we also think it is important to remind people that healthy lifestyle practices are key for personal development,” says President Leona Marlin. “There’s no doubt that walking is good for you. It is good for your heart; it is good for your lungs. It is good for muscle development and blood circulation. Walking is good for an overall feeling of wellbeing.”
The early morning activity will take the route of the Carnival jouvert. It starts at the Administration Building, goes around the Great Salt Pond and ends at the parking lot of the Government building, where a ‘Fit for Life’ sport instructor will provide stretch exercises.
Breakfast will be provided. Tickets are $ 6,- per person.
