Hello Toastmasters! Can you believe it's February already? We have begun the contest season. Please consider going to a live contest! Our theme this year is to Connect your Dots... what is your why in Toastmasters? Understanding and supporting the club mission will help you achieve your goals even quicker. The club mission is simple yet powerful: We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop their communication and leadership skills, resulting in a greater self confidence and personal growth. My challenge to you is to make the club mission, your mission and connect all your dots to success
Thanks !!!
