"Ghost in the Machine" Toastmasters 4 Writers hybrid meeting!

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 almost 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.

On the third Saturday we usually meet in person at this venue:

Fireside Room
First Presbyterian Church of Burbank
521 East Olive Avenue,
Burbank CA 91501
(Parking lot entrance off of Olive just east of buildings)

Please always check on our website to make sure of our date and location: https://tm4w.toastmastersclubs.org/

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:

Dear Toastmasters 4 Writers Members and Guests,

As Shakespeare penned in The Tempest, "Past is prologue."

As writers and storytellers, we’ve either applied that fundamental pillar of writing in our own work or recognized it in the stories we read and even now watch.

Join us on August 16th, 2025, at Toastmasters 4 Writers hybrid meeting with the theme of Ghost in the Machine, where I will share a personal story that drives home the point that the past truly is prologue.

Steven Cavallero
Toastmaster of the Day
