Proper Elocution

I blog quite a bit. Recently I have begun a sort of amateur attempt at video blogging... For some odd reason, when I suggested that I had a Blogger account, they sent the videos here. So you can see them on July 23 and 24... fairly unrelated to ToastMasters, except that I am holding forth and I certainly seem to be calling for some evaluation of my speaking skills!

Last night I went with a friend to the summer session of ToastMasters in our community-- two clubs amalgamated to form one of sufficient numbers to hold a meeting. My friend had an opportunity to observe quite a bit of fraternal "networking" take place. One chap asked her what sort of work she was in and when she said she was a pharmacist he told her that the manager at the Safeway was looking for someone, etc. We got a business card from a massage therapist for a friend of ours who is experiencing pain (she is a pharmacist also, with a counter that is too high for her petite self). One of our members has just launched a foundation so we are all going in to look at her new website. And the chap who knows the head honcho at Safeway also arranges yachting expeditions, so I gave him my husband's name and phone number. And lots of laughs as well, of course. ToastMasters is great.. if you haven't thought about it seriously, you might want to.

Summer ToastMasters

"Toast" by Richard Jack

This is just an update, since, formally, our ToastMasters club doesn't meet again until the Fall... However, we are given the option to meet on Tuesday nights with another club.

I am so lazy.

However, this morning a friend called and asked about ToastMasters in general, and then suggested that she would like to come with me, as a guest, to the next meeting. Hmmm.

So, I will be calling the woman who is graciously co-ordinating this 'extra' bit of effort and let her know that we will be coming along to the meeting tomorrow night. I'm sure there is a good reason for this....
