For over 40 years,&nbsp;Deerbrook Park Toastmasters has been helping local community members become more skilled and confident speakers--whether they are presenting before small groups/teams&nbsp;or addressing larger audiences.&nbsp; AND great and confident communication skills = solid leadership growth as well.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
Toastmasters, an organization with a global community of 13,800+ clubs and 260,000+ members, has been doing this for over&nbsp;100 years!&nbsp;&nbsp;And if English isn't your 1st language, Toastmasters can certainly help you become more proficient using the English language.&nbsp; 
The cost of joining&nbsp;is minimal but the results can be life changing professionally and personally.&nbsp; Chris Matthews, American Political Commentator and former talk show host (1997-2020) said this about Toastmasters:&nbsp;"Toastmasters changed my life... I don't know what I would have done without that positive boost."
Join us as a guest for our next meeting and see how Toastmasters can help you achieve your communication and leadership goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our next meeting is on Wednesday, November 4th at the Deerfield Library and by Zoom.&nbsp;&nbsp;The meeting starts at 6:45 pm and ends&nbsp;at 8:30 pm--and guests are always welcome!
