Central Toastmasters Club #2277 - Worcester, Massachusetts

We had a great summertime meeting outdoors this past week!
We met on the patio area at Brick and Stone Woodfired Pizza. They always are very accommodating, and everything on the menu is good, and reasonably priced, so it is a favorite place for us to meet.

Henry, a new member, give his icebreaker speech - that's what we call someone's first speech. Elman was our Table Topics master, and yet again came up with creative topics!

We meet weekly on Wednesday evenings, some of our meetings are on Zoom, some are in person. We welcome guests!

What a great time we all had at the Central Toastmasters Club Alumni Spring Fling!

Thank you to everyone who came out to last night. Although we were missing some of our past members who could not attend, we all had fun, 2277 style. We all enjoyed Lenny's speech about his experiences with Judo, and an evaluation from Laura Pearson. Just about all of the guests got to spin the Wheel of Topics and gave some engaging impromptu responses.

Thank you to our Club President, Lynne who invited everyone and made the whole thing fun.

Knock, Knock
