Toastmasters International

The Toastmaster Meeting
There are three forms of Toastmaster Meetings.

Business Meeting

The business meeting is where various tasks like bill paying that are necessary to keep the club running are taken care of. But since Toastmasters never does anything with out at least two reasons this is also an opportunity to learn about running a meeting. Ever want to attend a town meeting or address a committee? This is where you can painlessly learn the procedures that make you look like an expert.

Our business meeting occurs on the First Friday of each month, at luch time, in CA's cafeteria.

Educational Meeting
The various parts of the Educational portion of the meeting are described.
