Philipsburg:---On Thursday, November 20, the Philipsburg Toastmasters Club will host its seventh annual "Evening with the Toastmasters". The event will take place at the Carl's Unique Inn on the Orange Grove Road in Cole Bay, and it promises to be a memorable one. Members of the public are invited to witness an ideal Toastmasters meeting. First, there will be a session on impromptu speaking when volunteers will state their views on a given subject. Secondly, there will be presentations made on given topics by selected club members. Thirdly, a group of evaluators will assess the speakers on the effectiveness of their presentations and where pertinent, suggest areas of improvement. Next Thursday's event will include entertaining and informative speeches.
The Toastmasters Club believes the general public should attend because this public speaking is geared for everyone.
Everyone at one time or another will quite likely be required to make a presentation in front of an audience. This could include teaching a class, preaching a sermon, giving a toast, or being the keynote speaker at a special event.
Next Thursday's event will be both entertaining and educational. Through the evaluations, members of the public will be sensitized as regards their strengths and weaknesses when making oral presentations.
The event is free, and members and visitors can relax and socialize with each other at the end of the function. Attire is business like.
