Toastmasters 4 Writers is hosting "Summer Movie Blockbusters!"

Welcome to Toastmasters 4 Writers!

Toastmasters 4 Writers is a specialty Toastmasters club for everyone who loves storytelling and writing in any genre. You don't need to be published or professional writer to enjoy our Toastmasters 4 Writers club.

For 20 years, Toastmasters 4 Writers has been providing a safe and welcoming place for people to experience profound growth as communicators and leaders. We are here to cheer on all our members as they overcome their fear of speaking in front of groups, and excel as presenters.

We are meeting on Zoom the first Saturday, and holding hybrid meetings on the third Saturday with both "Zoomies" and "Roomies."

Our meetings start at 10 AM sharp, and end approximately at noon.

Here is the basic structure of our meetings:

• INTRODUCTION: The President, Toastmaster and supporting members kick off the meeting.
• SPEECHES: One to three speeches are presented by members from a variety of experience levels.
• TABLE TOPICS: Guests and members are invited to give 1-2 minute impromptu speeches or share a story.
• EVALUATIONS: Select members offer constructive feedback on the speeches presented.

Toastmaster's message for this meeting:

Hello movie enthusiasts!

As writers, we love the etymology of words. Take the word blockbuster, for instance.

Coined in the 1940s, it defined or referred to aerial munitions
capable of destroying a whole block of buildings.

Fifty years ago, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas expanded the meaning of the word, launching the blockbuster era in the film industry with movies like Jaws, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones; moviegoers lined up around the block to get in!

Please join TM4W at our Zoom meeting on Saturday, August 2nd, for Summer Movie Blockbusters fun.

Lights! Camera! Action!
