Cedar Valley Speechmasters will not have our regular meeting on Thursday at 12:05 PM.

Instead, please join us at “A Taste Of Toastmasters” on Thursday, October 15 at 5:00 PM at the Waterloo Public Library.

This is an opportunity to meet the club members and see some of the benefits Toastmasters has to offer.

Everyone is always welcome to attend.

It’s October, which means we’re officially in the final three months of 2026.

Before we welcome 2027, what is one skill you’d like to strengthen or one goal you’d like to accomplish?

Maybe you want to…
• Speak with greater confidence in front of others.
• Become a stronger, more effective leader.
• Organize your thoughts and communicate them more clearly.
• Walk into your next interview prepared, polished, and ready to earn that promotion.
• Become more comfortable speaking in meetings, presentations, or everyday conversations.

If any of these sound like you, Cedar Valley Speechmasters may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Toastmasters gives you a supportive place to practice, receive constructive feedback, build confidence, and develop communication and leadership skills you can use in every area of your life.

At Cedar Valley Speechmasters, goals are pursued, confidence is built, and leaders are made.

You don’t have to wait until January to work on the next version of you.
