There are several different categories, and they are all fun.

2015-09-17 06:30:25 PM pec1963 our ALP and VFW come in and honor the VETS for their Birthday too
2015-09-17 06:30:26 PM kathyhughes I am sure that you will Heather

They are usually 90 minutes from 7-8:30pm...... Has anyone else gone to their Toastmaster Meeting and how did you like it??????????????
2015-09-17 06:34:11 PM tinab i loved going to toastmasters
2015-09-17 06:34:20 PM char I really enjoyed the one I attended

2015-09-17 06:34:39 PM robing We don't have a toastmasters here any more.
2015-09-17 06:34:40 PM stacy Did you continue to go and go through the "Speech Levels"???
2015-09-17 06:34:45 PM katew sorry I am late. I had a long drive home from work and just got home.
2015-09-17 06:34:56 PM pec1963 I dont even know if they have a toastmaster where I live in fact I know they don't so what do i do about that Kathy
2015-09-17 06:34:58 PM tinab please don't judge them for a bad turnout!
2015-09-17 06:35:02 PM phylliskrastanov my toastmasters is great - I am probably going to join them - next week - i needed to wait for this course to be over
2015-09-17 06:35:10 PM katieok11 im going next Thursday to a toastmasters meeting--im excited
2015-09-17 06:35:17 PM kathyhughes You have to find a public speaking group
2015-09-17 06:35:22 PM tammyr we dont have one where we are
2015-09-17 06:35:24 PM katieok11 google it pec

2015-09-17 06:35:33 PM kim1 I like toastmaster's-but they meet at 5:45, and it's a long drive through rush hour to get there. Probably won't do that again. There's another one in my area that meets Thursdays at 11 am, which won't work for me either.
2015-09-17 06:35:36 PM pec1963 K that i can do
2015-09-17 06:35:37 PM katew I am speaking next week at a conference would that count?
