Toastmaster Meetings bring many rewards of the day. Angie shared these thoughts last week and they continue to turn in our minds and hearts.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sen...

This week's meeting on Thursday Oct. 29 will be the last one before falling back an hour on Nov. 1st. That means you have another opportunity to be up before the sun, walk to your technology delivery system of choice, and logon for a LIVE Toastmaster Zoom Meeting.

Please join us this Thursday morning for a fun and informative session from 6:45-7:45 am. Guests are always welcome.
