I have joined a local Toastmasters Club - First Class Toastmasters - and I am having a ball with it. Today I did a work-related speech for a local Rotary Club and it felt great!!!
We meet on Tuesday evenings for an hour and a half and while there are scheduled speeches (usually 5 - 7 minutes long), there is always opportunity to do short impromptu speeches.
The Toastmaster environment is a very supportive one. I will keep you informed as I go.

Charlotte
Graham and I are on the road again - this time to Charlotte, North Carolina. This is another ACN Convention. We left the house yesterday morning at 5:30 and finally arrived at our hotel shortly after 10:00 last night. Then we went for dinner and finally settled in for the night around midnight.
This year we are traveling with our friends Eileen and Wayne - but in 2 cars because they plan to leave early Sunday morning while we will stick around to hear "the Donald" speak on Sunday morning.
The weather forecast for Charlotte is 89 degrees every day - I think somewhat warmer than at home.
This morning, we are just waiting for Eileen and Wayne to return from a local chiropractor - Wayne is having some neck, back and arm problems and is in significant pain. We are all hoping that seeing a chiropractor will give him some relief.
More to come as the week end passes.
