I had the pleasure of visiting the Journal Center Toastmasters today! What drew me to this club is that they are right down the block from my office and meet on alternate Mondays during the lunch hour. It was a great opportunity to see the format in a club with a traditional structure. My home club, Off-The-Cuff, is delightfully non-traditional so naturally it's a good for for me, eh wot?
JTCers invited me to give a speech at this meeting, which is a great help as I work toward my Competent Communicator designation within the Toastmaster's program. I opted to present my speech "Making Sense," which is an introduction to what Sensory Processing Disorder is and how those with SPD are challenged throughout their day.
And guess what? I won Top Speaker! They graced me with a trophy* and 100 Grand... *cough* chocolate bar... mini... which I ate... and it was delicious..
Hey, Off-The-Cuffers, maybe we should incorporate fun stuff like this into our meetings, too!
* It's not the size of the trophy that counts, right? Right?
