Hot Springs Toastmasters to meet Saturday at NPMC

Hot Springs Toastmasters will hold its regular weekly club meeting at 8 a.m. Saturday at National Park Medical Center, 1910 Malvern Ave.

The club is listed in Toastmasters International tallies for President’s Distinguished Club status for the 2018-19 program year. Year-end Distinguished Club Program reports, including district reports, will be finalized by Toastmasters International later in July. District 43 and its Division A (which includes the Hot Springs club) are also flagged for President’s Distinguished status.

Club officers should plan on the semiannual officer training session to be held in Little Rock, in August. Details will be available later in the month.

All former Toastmasters, as well as interested guests, are welcome. Meetings normally are one hour long. The meetings are held in the east wing of the hospital. Enter from under the portico on that end of the campus.

Toastmasters is a supportive, inexpensive way to learn speaking and leadership skills. Training resources for speechmaking are part of Toastmaster support available to members. Toastmasters International’s materials and programs also offer leadership development. New members are offered a mentor when they join. Meeting roles rotate from one week to the next.
