July 2025 Newsletter

News and announcements

• We meet in-person the 1st, 3rd and 5th Tuesdays of the month, and online the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays. Please arrive at all meetings a few minutes before the official start time (6:30) to prevent last-minute scrambling to fill roles. When we meet at the Rec. Center, the room is open about 30 minutes earlier - this is a good time to come and socialize with fellow club members and guests.

• When you cannot make a meeting for which you have signed up for a role, please email us at pbtoastmasters@gmail.com as soon as possible

Upcoming Events

Mark your calendars! July 22nd will host our first Semi-improptu Extravaganza! Come practice spontaneous speech, but where you have a couple of minutes to prepare ahead of time!

Our job in this life is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it.”
