Scary Funny ... or Funny Scary?
Join us at 7pm on Monday, October 25, for our Halloween-themed meeting. There will be three speakers, and three scary/funny/spooky stories. You be the judge - was something, um, unusual or unexplainable going on?

Should you enter a speech contest? It's a good way to test your skills. Even if you don't compete, attending the contest as an observer is educational and motivating.

As you’ve no doubt noticed, Toastmasters offers many ways for you to learn. My favorite—and the one where I have grown the most—is the speech contest.

Anne Lamott said, “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”

Klassy Talkers is unplugging for a few weeks to allow members to enjoy the holidays. There are no more meetings for us in 2020; our next meeting will be Monday, January 11, 2021.

It's the last Klassy Talkers meeting for 2020 AND it's our annual holiday party. Come Zoom with us on Monday, December 14, in your ugliest holiday sweater, your funky holiday hat, your funny holiday scarf and your holiday elf slippers, and don't forget your preferred seasonal libation! The meeting begins at 7:15pm PST.

We've concocted a trivia contest and will be toasting the imminent arrival of the new year.

There will be prizes for the "best" outfit and the trivia contest winning team. Get the Zoom Meeting link here: https://5728.toastmastersclubs.org/directions.html
