Join us for the Paul Bunyan Toastmasters Club Meeting this Friday, June 27, from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM CDT! Whether you're a seasoned speaker or just starting out, we’ve got a welcoming space for you to sharpen your communication and leadership skills.

But wait—June 27 isn’t just any Friday! It’s a celebrated day with more flavor than a Minnesota hotdish:

🎂 National Ice Cream Cake Day – Yes, mornings call for layers of cake and ice cream. We’re considering a celebratory scoop… or three.
😎 National Sunglasses Day – Great speeches deserve equally great shades. Think slick! (UV protection and charisma required.)
🧅 National Onion Day – Onions have layers, just like effective speeches. Let’s peel yours back together.
🧠 National PTSD Awareness Day – A reminder of the power of words to heal, to support, and to lift each other up.

Why show up on this delectable & meaningful day?

🍰 We’ll “layer” your public speaking skills just like an ice cream cake.
🕶️ Walk in without shades—leave with confidence that shines brighter than any accessory.
🧅 Unpeel your message’s layers and uncover your true voice.
🧠 Speak in a space that values compassion, awareness, and emotional intelligence.

🌕 Strawberry Moon & Speaking Bold 🍓
Paul Bunyan Toastmasters

Beneath June’s Strawberry Moon so bright,
We gather to grow, to speak, to ignite.
With trembling hands or voices strong,
Each story shared, each speech belongs.

Like legends tall and rivers wide,
We face our fears, and we speak with pride.
So under the moon’s soft, blushing light,
We find our voice—and take flight.

You're Invited!

Paul Bunyan Toastmasters Meeting
Friday, May 30th | 7:30–8:30 AM CDT
Hybrid Meeting – Join us in person or on Zoom!
Location: Brainerd Lakes Chamber Building

OR cozy up virtually with us on Zoom (pajamas optional, participation mandatory)

This week's theme is “If You Could Turn Back Time…” 🎶

Our Toastmaster will invite you—members and guests alike—to time-travel with a twist:
💭 If you could live in one DECADE, what would it be?
Think fast, speak smart, and keep it snappy—we’re looking for tight, engaging intros with a splash of flair!

Then, prepare to dive deep into nostalgia as our Table Topics Master spins the theme:
“Remember When…”
A tender tribute to love that spans the decades, wild as the wind and warm as your favorite memory.
What would be your “Remember When”?
Whether you’re feeling groovy from the ’70s or roaring for the ’20s, we want to hear your story.

Bring your voice, your vibe, and your vintage spirit.
Let’s speak, laugh, and remember—together.
