TCU Toastmasters will host an open house on Wednesday, Jan. 20 from noon to 12:50 p.m. in the Rickel Building, room 245. Refreshments will be served. For anyone who has ever thought about joining Toastmasters and then immediately felt butterflies, here's your chance. Come and learn how this world-famous program helps even the shyest speakers to feel confident in front of an audience.

 

 

The club offers "learn-by-doing" training to help individuals improve their communication and leadership skills in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere.

 

 

The group meets weekly to learn and practice presentation techniques. Upon joining, members progress through a basic speech manual, which includes a series of 10 speaking projects designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking. When finished with the first manual, members can select from among 15 advanced manuals to develop speaking skills that are geared to specific interests.
