Wednesday, March 4, 2009. In October 1924, a group of men assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the basement of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, U.S.A., forming a club “to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings, and to promote sociability and good fellowship among its members.” The group took the name “Toastmasters.”. At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters ...

Monday, December 7, 2009. Deidre Merritt – Ice Breaker. So, I decided to get certified to become a nutrition and wellness consultant and have since started my own consulting business called Nutritional Merritt. Now, as I was developing my business – I hadn’t even launched it yet, a friend of mine mentioned to me that I should start my own cable cooking show in conjunction with my nutrition business – I never would have thought of that!

3Talkers Toastmasters Club: This Week's President's Message

http://blog.3talkers.com/2010/07/this-weeks-presidents-message.html

Wednesday, July 14, 2010. This Week's President's Message. In last week's message I wrote about focusing on building our membership and for us to start to think proactively about "who can we invite to the next meeting? The easiest way to get started on that is to think about who can benefit from Toastmasters or from our club specifically? Some of the answers that come to my mind include:. People who are writing or publishing a book. People who are laid off and looking for work. As our own Richard Baker w...

3Talkers Toastmasters Club: November 2009

http://blog.3talkers.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 19, 2009. Make Your Comeback : Why we should all participate in sports at any age. My interest in sports began as a kid. I played soccer when I was younger, and then tennis and volleyball in high school. Back then, sports was where I met my friends, and it gave me something to look forward to in my life other than school. But after high school, sports just dropped out of my life. I’ve exercised over those 25 years, going to the gym or taking walks, but it was never the same. Committing...

3Talkers Toastmasters Club: September 2010

http://blog.3talkers.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 15, 2010. The Mishaps of Mercury Retrograde. Let me give you an idea of the kind of mishaps it can bring. I am at the mall with my kids and I go to the restroom. I walk in the stall and close the door and see toilet seat liners on the door and I think oh great I can actually sit on the seat instead of having to squat and look like I’m doing a football drill in the stall. What is mercury retrograde? Mercury has to do with the communication and disbursement of information. It also over...

I arrived early to yesterday’s meeting, upon my arrival I noticed the tables were not in a good arrangement for our meeting.

Was there a last minute change I was unaware of? Is it the right day of the week? In this ...
