Twice a year, Toastmasters holds speaking contests for its members. The Spring Contests for our club are being held this Friday, February 5th, for our International Speech Contest and our Evaluations Contest. Two of our members will qualify from each of those contests to advance to the next level: The Area Contest. Continued qualifications through the next levels may bring one of our speakers to the International Toastmasters Convention in Washington, DC in August.
This meeting does not follow our normal agenda, but does provide an opportunity to see what Toastmasters members from our club are able to do with the skills they have learned at Toastmasters.
What is Toastmasters? Consider this: When will you be called upon to do a presentation in a real world scenario? A toast at a wedding? Saying something at a graduation? Being asked to stand up and say a few words at the spur of the moment? Maybe your boss asks you, at the last minute, to do a presentation, because the other person was not available, sick, etc.
If you want to reduce your nervousness in front of a crowd, to gain confidence when speaking, or even to refine already-strong speaking skills, Talk of the Town Toastmasters is the right place for you. The added bonus? Our club gives you great opportunities to develop and refine leadership skills. Come join us for a free meeting or two.
Please plan to arrive at your first meeting about ten minutes early so we can greet you, meet you, and answer your questions. We look forward to seeing you!
Talk of the Town Toastmasters was established in 2009 to bring Toastmasters International to Batavia, Illinois. Our club is made up of a great group of people who are each committed to becoming better public speakers and more effective leaders. About 20 members and guests -- who come from all walks of life -- attend each weekly meeting.
