The Teagues are still part of our club but since moving to South Central PA last Fall, they’ve been attending meetings online via Zoom. Jim was attending a John Maxwell event and so he was in the area and thus,Continue reading “A Surprise Guest at Greensburg Toastmasters!”

Going for the Gold at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
Tuesday Night may have felt cold outside but inside it was warm at our Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. Recently, I sent my completed Dynamic Leadership (finally!) after starting it almost five years ago.

My First Western Maryland Toastmasters Visit!
Earlier this week, my cousin complimented me for the work that I put into my blog. She said she gets a lot out of my content and appreciates my take on life.

2024 Summer TLI!
Summer TLI (which is also known as Club Officer Training) was held yesterday at Westmoreland County Community College. Just as it has been since 2022, the event was hybrid (meaning that it was held online and in-person). The day began at 8am with continental breakfast. I arrived a little after 7:30am and helped with puttingContinue reading “2024 Summer TLI!”
