Macatawa Toastmasters - Holland, Michigan

Recently we had a special keynote speaker at our open house, David VanderMolen. He started his speech out with the mission statement of the Toastmasters Organization. A lot of people wonder what we do and who we are. That can mostly be found out by attending meetings, or by knowing this:

“We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.”

Last week we hosted our annual Macatawa Toastmasters Open House. It included special keynote speaker David VanderMolen who spoke about leadership. We had several first time guests and some new membership signups. Looking forward to introduce a few more fresh faces to the group!

Tonight! Thursday, September 21st, 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm, you are invited to Macatawa Toastmasters' open house! We will have a key note speaker, David VanderMolen, a Chief Catalyst of Inspired 2 Change, a transformative change agency. We will be providing refreshments, a game/movie theme raffle basket, and an opportunity for you to try your hand at Table Topics, or just listen while others give impromptu speeches based on the prompts they are given. We would love to have you join us and hope to see you, if not tonight, another time soon. All information is on the flyer. The address for the meeting is:
