PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Speak to Your Success! Arf!

Dear Warner Center Toastmasters: 

Can you talk with the animals?  Is the dog really man’s best friend?  Do birds of a feather actually flock together?  You will see below that leaders and authors have quite different opinions on the subject.  How about you?  What do you think? Please join us at our next meeting on Thursday, May 8th when our theme will be “Pets.”  Let us know if your bark is worse than your bite! 

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
~ George Eliot 

I like pigs.  Dogs look up to us.  Cats look down on us.  Pigs treat us as equals.
~ Winston Churchill 

I loathe people who keep dogs.  They are cowards who haven’t got the guts to bite people themselves.              
~ August Strindberg, A Madman's Diary, 1895

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.  
  ~ Charles M. Schulz, Snoopy

 In the words of Winnie the Pooh “It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'"  I think Pooh might have been a Toastmaster!  At Warner Center Toastmasters we are here to help you succeed, we are here to help you develop your communication and leadership skills.  Please take advantage of this tremendous opportunity. 

Come find your voice, come find your message and come find your speaking success! 

-Susan

Improve your confidence when speaking in front of people!

Toastmasters is dedicated to helping you overcome your fear of public speaking, so why fumble around in the dark with your self-image? Think of your Toastmasters club as a  communications laboratory, a forum for experimentation, a friendly place where it's OK to make mistakes -- in short, a workshop to polish your personal style. 

If  this sounds good to you, then come join us for a light buffet and some great speakers at the Warner Marriott Hotel in Woodland Hills. Currently the most popular Toastmasters meeting location in greater Los Angeles, WCTM at the Marriott provides a wide variety of excellent meeting  rooms for one of Los Angeles' finest and largest Toastmasters groups.

Warner Center Toastmasters has been enhancing careers and enriching interpersonal communications for our members for twenty-five years. Why leave great speaking skills to politicians and captains of industry? You too can speak like a pro, and we'll show you how. 

It all comes together in a clearly defined and well-supported program of speeches and exercises that help you to sharpen your verbal skills, organize your words and gestures, and make you fast on your feet. Lose your fear of speaking in front of a large group, and you'll feel more confident speaking to anybody!

The Warner Marriott is located at 21850 Oxnard Street at the corner of Topanga. From Santa Clarita to Calabasas, Santa Monica to Chatsworth, we have active members from all over the area.

We DO meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month without fail (except Xmas). Meeting begins at 630pm, gavel at 7pm. Meeting concludes approximately 9pm. Guest fee: five dollars.  This site is updated twice a month with forthcoming meeting details, so check back often.  For details, please contact:
