To The Eagle:

There’s an effort afoot to start a local Toastmaster’s club – basically a group that meets weekly to have fun developing speaking skills ranging from technical to humorous, from sublime to ridiculous. The effort is spearheaded by Sue Cameron who has recruited help from a couple of experienced Toastmaster organizers to help us get started. There are about a dozen of us so far, and we need about twice that number to become a viable club.

This is an invitation to come check it out and see if it is something you might have fun with. We’re meeting Mondays at noon at the Hope Center, 320 S. Third Street in Cathlamet, and next Monday, December 17, will be our last meeting in 2018. People of local fame and infamy in the group include Lee Tischer, Bernadette Goodroe, Mike Backman, Sue Cameron, and me and Judy. Surely there’s someone in that crowd you’d like to speak to or pick a bone with. Come try it out.
