Who doesn’t like a good story? Come over and tell us a story! Enjoy an evening of great stories ranging from personal experiences, folklore, long excuses at work to ridiculous, outrageous tall tales.
We are the first Storytelling Toastmasters Club in the South Bay area. While we follow the Toastmasters format, we focus on stories. Our group has some experienced speakers and storytellers, some who have developed their skills over time and some who have just started! So no experience required to join - just show up and see how it goes for you.
We meet the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month, except for holidays. The 2nd Monday meeting is virtual while the 4th Monday meeting is hybrid - many members meet in person while others join via Zoom. Login begins at 6:45 pm for those joining via Zoom. That way we can chit-chat a bit, test out our video and audio, and prep everyone with the agenda. The call to order is at 7 pm and meeting adjourns at 8:30 pm.
Hybrid meeting locations are now near Hwy 85 and Union Ave in San Jose, CA. Reach out to info@siliconvalleystorytellers.com for the address if you're attending in person!

Theme: Background Story (Online)
·OnlineOnlineNot every part of the story makes it into the spotlight! This meeting is about the chapters that usually stay in the background--the side journeys, the overlooked characters, the formative experiences that give depth to our main stories.
What stories and experiences shaped you into the person that you have become? That's what we will be focused on here -- during our theme of BACKGROUND STORIES.
