Join the Rumney Marsh Toastmasters Club # 8431 on the first and third Monday of each month at 2 Rice Street Saugus Laurel Gardens Community Room, Saugus, MA Toastmasters makes learning fun! This non-profit organization offers a proven ? and enjoyable ? way to practice communication and leadership skills. Here's how it works: A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a friendly atmosphere. A typical group has 20 to 40 members who meet weekly or biweekly to practice public speaking techniques. The average meeting lasts one hour. Members learn communication skills by working in the Competent Communication manual, a series of 10 self-paced speaking assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking. Participants learn skills related to use of humor, gestures, eye contact, speech organization and overall delivery. When finished with this manual, members can choose from 15 advanced manuals to learn skills related to specific interests. Members also learn leadership skills by taking on various meeting roles and serving as officers at the club and district levels, and by working in the Competent Leadership manual and the High Performance Leadership program. In our learn-by-doing approach, we don't lecture our members about leadership skills; we give them responsibilities and ask them to lead. There is no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead, members evaluate one another?s presentations. This feedback process is a key part of the program?s success. Meeting participants also give impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings, serve as officers in various leadership roles and learn rules related to timing, grammar and parliamentary procedure. Thousands of corporations sponsor in-house Toastmasters clubs. Businesses and government organizations have discovered that Toastmasters is an effective, cost-efficient means of meeting their communication training needs. Toastmasters groups also can be found in governmental agencies, as well as in a variety of community organizations, prisons, universities, hospitals, military bases and churches. www.toastmasters.org Contact Club President, Sherri Raftery, DTM - 978-235-2035 or rafterysher@aol.com
