Local public speaking training in the spotlight

Toastmasters club inducts new president & committee

Limestone Coast Toastmasters have welcomed their new committee with Andrea Braun taking on the role as president. This is Andrea’s first time at the helm and she was delighted to take on the new responsibility and excited for the year ahead. Andrea also thanked her predecessor Natalie Zwar and the previous committee for their efforts over the past 12 months.

Limestone Coast Toastmasters has just completed their first ever Speech Craft Course with three participants successfully completing the tasks required.

Speechcraft is a short course which provides an excellent introduction to public speaking whilst providing skills that each participant can acquire and start using immediately. Speechcraft was held once a week for a four week period in which participants were encouraged to complete tasks during and between sessions.

With the course being so successful we are looking to hold another course early next year and will accept expressions of interest in the new year.

If anyone is interested in joining Toastmasters they can contact our club Vice President for Membership Elizabeth Hodges on 0419 595 653. Interested people are welcomed to attend any club night which are held the first and third Wednesday of the month at the Mount Gambier RSL on Sturt Street starting promptly at 7pm.
