Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Toastmasters Meetup

JOIN US DURING OUR ONLINE ADVENTURE!

We may be physically separated but are having fun and growing as speakers and leaders in online times, and we'd love to have even more go-getters join our energetic community! How? We're meeting via Zoom, at our usual time 8:00AM, every Monday, for one hour. We will switch back to in-person meetings when circumstances permit. We'll open the Zoom at 7:30 so feel free to enter ahead of time to check equipment and chat with the group.

Cary Club Toastmasters will help you reach your public speaking goals in a warm, friendly environment with plenty of good-natured fun and effective, motivational feedback. This is especially true as we build those vital virtual meeting skills business now depends upon.

In our meetings we hear and evaluate prepared speeches of 5-7 minutes and also test our extemporaneous skills with "Table Topics"

Are you ready to stretch your wings? To join our Zoom Meeting, please contact David Lindquist at (919) 594-7608 or dlindquist0@gmail.com for the Zoom link and password.

Please plan to attend the Monday evening meeting of Raleigh Toastmasters, Club # 843. We offer an engaging and inspirational agenda that will make you want to come back for more. We are looking forward to having you join us.

Join the Bedford Toastmaster's Club to meet new people, learn new skills, and get a great start to your Tuesday. Guests always welcome.

Toastmaster's teaches leadership and public speaking skills through hands-on application! Each meeting is led by a Toastmaster who makes sure all the roles are filled, and that the meeting starts and ends on time. Meetings follow a standard agenda with lots of opportunities for everyone to participate.

The structure for a typical meeting is as follows:

1. MEETING OPENS: The Sargent at Arms opens the meeting and introduces the Toastmaster.

2. TOASTMASTER INTRODUCTION: The Toastmaster starts the meeting, introduces the theme, and calls on members to explain their role at the meeting.

3. INVOCATION: One member delivers a brief invocation

4. SPEECHES: One to three speeches - The speeches begin! At a meeting one to three Toastmasters will give a 5-7 minute speech; usually based on a theme from a Toastmaster's manual or one of the Pathways projects.

5. TIMEKEEPER REPORT: After the speeches, the Timekeeper gives a timers report.

6. TABLE TOPICS: The Table Topics Master brings up three members for 1-2 minute of impromptu talks. Once you learn to do this, you'll never be put "on the spot" again.

7. EVALUATIONS: Each speech is evaluated by a different member. Evaluations help us practice impromptu speaking and giving feedback.

8. GENERA EVALUATION: A member gives a general evaluation of the meeting, while the Grammarian highlights uses of um's and ah's and also great use of language.

9. PRESIDENT's REPORT: The President gives a brief club business report and closes the meeting.
