Toastmaster's Club Meeting: MASTERING JOB INTERVIEWS (Guests Welcome!) Join us on Zoom to learn how to lead with words at work, your business in your personal life.

The grammarian chooses a word of the day for each meeting, and participants are encouraged to use it throughout the meeting. We do this to expand our vocabulary and learn to use these new words! Want to expand your vocabulary? Join one of our meetings every Thursday at 12 PM Eastern time!

📚✍️ Elevate Your Communication Skills! 📚✍️

Did you know that reading and writing go hand in hand, each enhancing the other? By incorporating new words or utilizing existing ones, not only do you enrich your vocabulary, you also sharpen your communication abilities.

Meet the "Grammarian" at Toastmasters— a pivotal role dedicated to refining grammar and vocabulary skills among club members. As the grammarian, you get to introduce new words and keep an eye on language and grammar usage.

🌟 This week's word of the week: "insight" 🌟

How can you integrate this powerful word into your conversations and presentations?

Let it inspire and drive your communication goals!
