New Toastmasters Club Coming to Mountain View

A new Toastmaster community club is forming in Mountain View. The first meeting of Mountain View Toastmasters (was held) on Wednesday evening, April 1, 2015, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Mountain View Community Center.

Mountain View Toastmasters is being formed to help members of the community achieve their communication and leadership goals. This may include business presentations, leading small group discussions, giving a toast at a wedding, or socializing with friends and colleagues. As part of the Toastmasters International organization -- www.toastmasters.org -- the club welcomes speakers of all experience levels, from novices looking to overcome stage fright, to advanced speakers seeking to polish their skills.

The club’s first meeting will include a demonstration of a typical Toastmasters meeting, including a prepared speech, impromptu speaking, and evaluations. The initial meeting will also accommodate a Q&A session about Toastmasters International, as well as an opportunity to socialize and network with members of the local Toastmasters community. Refreshments will be provided.

The club is scheduled to meet every Wednesday evening from 7 to 8 p.m. in Room 2 of the Mountain View Community Center, located at 201 S. Rengstorff Ave. Those who are interested may RSVP at www.mountainviewtoastmasters.com.
