3 个月George, I have been in business for many years and had never attended a toast matter meeting. You had invited me a few weeks ago. I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I definetly saw the value of Toast Masters. Not only do you build confidence and learn, but you also develop relationships that go beyond the two hour meeting. I would definetly recommend toast matters. Thanks again.
