Greatland Toastmasters Club - #3069

Have you ever felt so excited about something, or so committed to something, that you wanted to wave a flag and let all the world know?

This Thursday, January 16th – Cole A. will let us know why flags matter. He will tell us about the history of flags, their importance, and what makes them good. The fun and learning will continue as the Table Topics Master, Deborah F. presents intriguing and entertaining topics for our members to speak impromptu as we learn to think on our feet.

We meet every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 8:00. You are welcome to pop in, on any Thursday. We have both live and Zoom available.

Our physical meeting location is at First Christian Church of Anchorage, 3031 LaTouche St., Anchorage, AK.

Hi Greatland folks – tonight‘s meeting will be via ZOOM-ONLY due to hazardous road conditions in Anchorage. We will NOT meet in person tonight. However, our Halloween theme is still on, so feel free to wear a costume, mask, or use Zoom filters for special ghoulish effects (totally optional)! Please email [email protected] if you need our zoom link. Stay safe out there, and we hope to be back to hybrid meetings next week!

Tonight, October 17th , member June will tell us about a small, innocent creature that gets a bad rap, especially this time of year. Hold your hand up to your heart and feel it beat for a few seconds. Now imagine instead of beating 80 beats per minute, your heart beats 350 instead. That’s what it would feel like to have the heart of a rat. Every October, rats are portrayed in the media and through Halloween decorations as dirty, scary, and evil creatures—and this challenges our ability to empathize with them. June will explore why these rat stereotypes are far from the truth.

The fun and learning will continue as the Table Topics Master, Lynea, presents intriguing and entertaining topics for our members to speak impromptu as we learn to think on our feet.

Here is an important question. Could anyone out there, use more energy? If your answer is ‘Yes’, then Greatland’s meeting this Thursday, October 3rd at 7:00 PM AK time is for you!

Our speaker Marie will give us a recipe that we can all use. The title of her speech is, “Recipe for a Youthful Energetic New You.”

We have a real treat for our online Greatland Toastmasters meeting tonight - our renowned storyteller, John Spieker, will tell an enchanting story!

John grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, an area rich with the tradition of storytelling, where the truth can be stretched a w-e-e bit. Many of the stories John heard pertained to the haunted, abandoned houses that still stood throughout the mountains. Tonight, John will tell us a story about the haunted house that he grew up in.

Speech Title: Your House is Haunted.
