It’s A New Club Year!
A New Chapter!
A New Opportunity to Grow!

I am Danielle Mercedes and I’m honored to serve as the new President of The Jim Whitney Toastmasters club!

As we begin this new chapter, our focus is simple: helping people become more confident, capable, and connected communicators.

We meet 2nd and 4th Mondays at 7pm at
Wyatt Hall-520 Main St. Laurel, MD (adjacent to St. Philips Episcopal Church).

We look forward to seeing you!
