This morning marked the end of an era. It was our club officer training. It was held online. It was the final event for Districts 10 and 13 before the two districts merge to form the new District 219 on July 1. Change can be scary, but it can also be exciting. I logged onContinue reading “End of an Era in Toastmasters!”

Eating on a Patio in Downtown Greensburg!
While enjoying my Matcha Latte at Caleese on Friday afternoon, I scrolled through Instagram and saw a post that really caught my eye. Summer in Greensburg means that dining out may involve enjoying your meal outside while enjoying a nice view of the city. There are plenty of restaurants (and even coffee shops) in ourContinue reading “Eating on a Patio in Downtown Greensburg!”

We’ve been pushing that quite a bit as we change districts on July 1 and become the new District 219. I got the email message around 4:30pmContinue reading “This or That at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
Storms roll in as Vacation winds down!
I wrapped up my last full day of vacation on Sunday with a trip to Cutie’s Coffee. That’s exactly what this week off missed. Last Fall, I was down there twice during the week off. Summer is in full swing, even though it doesn’t feel like it today. Still loving that Bakecation (Oreo Cheesecake) LatteContinue reading “Storms roll in as Vacation winds down!”
First Cape May Trip Since 2018 This Fall!
My first vacation of the year is coming to an end and in spite of mixed feelings, it was a good week off. My week was also productive as I downsized my wardrobe, enough to fill three bags of clothes to give to Goodwill. I spent a lot of time in the pool this weekContinue reading “First Cape May Trip Since 2018 This Fall!”
Cleaning House and Walking around the Mall!
The first week off of 2026 is going by quickly. I’ve visited Toastmasters clubs, gone swimming, and went to the gym. Compared to my Fall 2025 vacation, it feels a little bit lacking. However, I’m not labeling this vacation week a bust even though things could have been better. I made a trip to aContinue reading “Cleaning House and Walking around the Mall!”
First Toastmasters Meeting in a High School Classroom!
It was the night… that almost wasn’t. The plans on this Tuesday of my vacation week included a visit to the South Hills Toastmasters Club. Before I decided to head to Canonsburg, I almost made the decision to stay at home and attend online. I’m glad I made the effort to drive to Canon-McMillan HighContinue reading “First Toastmasters Meeting in a High School Classroom!”
My First Visit to Latte Lane!
It’s Day 2 of my 2026 Summer Vacation. As originally planned, I’m on my way to Cranberry for one of my two Cranberry High Noon Toastmasters club visits. On either end of Cranberry High Noon are coffee and gym visits. First was a trip to Latte Lane in Cheswick. I’d been wanting to check this placeContinue reading “My First Visit to Latte Lane!”
Summer Vacation 2026: A Much-Needed Reset Coming!
Today marked the first day of my Summer Vacation 2026. The weather this week is trending warm and humid, with chances for showers and thunderstorms likely. That’s what happens when you get those summer-like temperatures. Not every day will be a washout though and there will be plenty of opportunities to be poolside. The startContinue reading “Summer Vacation 2026: A Much-Needed Reset Coming!”
Preparing a Speech in Five Minutes at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Our agenda was small at Greensburg Wednesday night as we only had one speaker. But, it was a project that could really help when preparing speeches (especially last minute). You can have an hour long speech ready to go in just five minutes if you looked at the handout given to us by our speaker.Continue reading “Preparing a Speech in Five Minutes at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
