Mark your calendars for a holiday gathering on December 15th! This is great opportunity to get to know your fellow toastmasters better and practice those interpersonal communication skills. Keep an eye for an email for venue and meeting time. We hope to see you there!

New meeting formats

Starting October, we will have two types of meetings: Advanced (every 4th Thursday of the month) & Standard (every 2nd Thursday of the month). First-time guests are encouraged to attend the Standard meetings. Meetings held on the 4th Thursday are geared towards more advanced speakers, without the role introductions, and with more of a focus on evaluations as well as skill-building games.
