Hot Springs Toastmasters to meet Saturday morning
Hot Springs Toastmasters will hold its weekly club meeting at 8 a.m. Saturday, both in-person and via Zoom.
The club’s in-person meeting will be held at First Church of the Nazarene, 3804 Central Ave. An officer will be at the front door to serve as a guide. Participants are asked to bring or wear a mask. If attendance requires it, there will be access to a larger room for social distancing. A copy of directions will be sent to participants as a reminder, later this week.
For more information, including directions, email via the club website, https://7643.toastmastersclubs. org/, call 501-620-9943 or 501-262-1664, or text 901907-9169. The club can also be contacted using the “find a club” option on the Toastmasters International website, https://www.toastmasters.org/. The online meeting location cannot be accessed through either website. The club has been meeting online since late March.
Toastmasters is a “supportive, inexpensive way to learn speaking and leadership skills.” Training resources for speechmaking are part of Toastmasters’ support available to members. Toastmasters International’s materials and programs also offer leadership development. New members are offered mentoring, either assigned or a chosen match. Meeting roles rotate from one week to the next. There is no charge to attend. Meetings normally are one hour long.
