Toastmasters – Not Just For Speaking Anymore: If you met your spouse or significant other through Toastmasters, please send me your story. Tell me how you met, where you met and how long you have been together. I am preparing an article for February release letting some of the local papers know that Toastmasters is not just for speaking anymore – it is a great place to meet outstanding people as well!
Testimonials: By now you should have been around long enough to know whether Toastmasters has helped you in some way. Please go to the link for testimonials and add your story. So far, it’s just Joan, Alan and I who have shared our gratitude for an organization which has clearly enhanced each of our lives.
That’s all for now, but please check back for more later.
