Description Let your attendees know what to expect, including the agenda, what they need to bring, and how to find the group.

Wondering what it’s like to attend a typical Toastmasters meeting? Pay a “virtual visit” to the Speed River Toastmasters club. There are several benefits of Toastmasters: · Participation in a unique and proven program for developing your communication and leadership skills. · A positive and supportive atmosphere in a community of learners. · The opportunity to find your voice while learning to tell your story with confidence. · Regular and constructive feedback from other learners as you practice organizing your thoughts and presenting them clearly. · Experience in leadership development through training and club involvement. · Unlimited opportunities for personal and professional growth. · Access to a wealth of educational materials and resources on public speaking, listening skills, meeting protocol, the use of technology in presentations, and effective communication in conferences and meetings. · A free subscription to the Toastmaster, a monthly magazine that provides insights on communication, leadership, club activities and other relevant topics. We meet every Mondays from 12 noon till 1pm except holidays. We used to meet in Guelph, ON but now meet online due to Covid. Contact us for a meeting link.

Hello Friends of CFI! We are happy to introduce this new monthly Sunday night Zoom event for people who crave serious conversations! Now that our Sunday brunch, Food for Thought, has returned to the 'real world,' we wanted to create another event to keep our many new 'zoom-able' friends in the loop with CFI. Hence-- (tah-dah!), we are introducing the "CFI Third-Sunday Roundtable" (C3SR for those in the know). Since it's a monthly series we will have a little more time to choose topics and for everyone to do the readings. As a change of format, in each meeting we will pose three questions about the reading, and ask for volunteers to give their answers. (Questions: 1- What are the main ideas in the reading? 2- What is most surprising idea? 3- Do you see any weaknesses in the thesis?) Then, anyone can ask the speaker why they think that, or where they get their facts, or just say, 'That was Brilliant' (in case it was Laurence or Harry speaking!) So, on with the show. Topic to be announced in the Comments section, below, prior to the meeting.

Join our WhatsApp group to discuss all things Whiskey!
