Aldergrove Toastmasters is having an open house on Monday, January 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Aldergrove Community Secondary School in Room # 125.
Locals are invited to come by yourself or come with friends, and be prepared to have a good time. For example, Carolin, a new club member, has already done her first speech and is "loving" table topics. "You get a topic and right away you have to stand up and talk about it. I thought it would be scary but the group is really supportive; it's a lot of fun!" said Carolin.
If your goal in 2012 is to grow professionally and personally, Aldergrove Toastmasters club, which meets at Aldergrove Community Secondary School Room #125, on Mondays at 7-9 p.m., can help you achieve it. Membership pays off in career advancement and self enhancement.
