WINONA LAKE — On Thursday, July 20, four new members will be inducted into the Lake City Toastmasters club.  This induction ceremony is open to the public and begins at 5:30 p.m. in room 107 of McClain Hall at Grace College.

David Wolfe, one of the new members, explains his reason for joining Toastmasters, “being part of Toastmasters is great way to build confidence and enhance my speaking skills.  I can learn at my own pace with others who share an interest in improving.”

“Toastmasters provides a supportive and positive environment where members have the opportunity to develop their communication and leadership skills; we are excited to support our new members and grow together!” says Serena Case, president of the Lake City Toastmasters club.

Jean Wolfe, Toastmasters Area 13 Director, encourages people to consider visiting and becoming a member.  “Toastmasters is nothing like high school or college speech classes!  If you were uncomfortable in classroom settings, consider Toastmasters.  If you loved speech class, also consider Toastmasters as a practical way to take your skills to the next level.  You are provided with feedback to help you improve, not a grade; you are with a group of people who want to be there and want to develop; and you set your goals and pace to achieve them.  There is always a way to participate as a speaker, listener or evaluator.” 

Lake City Toastmasters encourages the community to attend club meetings at 5:30 p.m. the first and third Thursday of each month to learn more about the Toastmaster experience.  Find out how Toastmasters can help you!  To learn more about the Lake City Toastmasters club, go to http://7566.toastmastersclubs.org/ .
