On Thursday night, I attended the Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters club via Zoom. I came because I wanted to cheer on one of my good friends who was speaking about her Toastmasters journey so far. I met Dr. Liz and her husband last year at the Area Speech Contest that was being held in Johnstown. AsContinue reading “Reflections of Summer at Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters!”

De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Last night, I went back to Greensburg Toastmasters after having missed the prior meeting. This was due to doctor’s appointments and the need to rest up for work. We had two guests in attendance, one who’s been part of Toastmasters in the past. The second guest was new to Toastmasters. We had an amazing agendaContinue reading “De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
The Bags are Back!
For those of you rooting for me in my nontraditional fashion journey, the rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated again. But first, Tuesday’s weather brought with it a Spring preview. For me, it was a nice drive down to Connellsville for my first in person Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting since September. 55 degreesContinue reading “The Bags are Back!”
Finding Uncommon Leaders at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
We were a virtual crowd on Tuesday night at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters. That meant I could stay warm and cozy while attending the meeting, as it felt more like January than November. Our theme was “Finding Uncommon Leaders”. We got off to a late start and had to make some adjustments to our agenda, butContinue reading “Finding Uncommon Leaders at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Leaders are Readers at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
I returned to Laurel Highlands Toastmasters Tuesday night after missing the last meeting. Two weeks ago I visited the Johnstown club which meets the same night. We met online, which worked for me as it bought me some time to get ready. Last week was unlike any other, with the Fall Symposium on Saturday. IContinue reading “Leaders are Readers at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Cleared for Takeoff at the District 13 Fall Symposium!
Saturday morning was the District 13 Fall Symposium. It was the first time Fall contests took place since the final conference eight years ago. For the District, today was also a bittersweet day.

Visiting the Neighborhood and My Little Stars Hollow!
My original plans for Thursday as I was still on my week off were to go into Pittsburgh and visit one of the museums. I was thinking about going to the Andy Warhol Museum. But between the cost of admission and parking downtown, I was looking for a more cost-friendly option. The Pittsburgh Zoo andContinue reading “Visiting the Neighborhood and My Little Stars Hollow!”
Finding a College Connection at Johnstown Toastmasters!
My recap of Tuesday night’s Johnstown Toastmasters meeting is coming but before that, my “cold open”. It took me a while, but I’m on my way with the Gilmore Girls rewatch. I started it last Sunday, the 25th anniversary of the Gilmore Girls pilot. Currently, I am working my way through season one. This afternoon,Continue reading “Finding a College Connection at Johnstown Toastmasters!”
Three Saturdays in October Series: A Speech Contest Like No Other
This morning at Westmoreland County Community College, Toastmasters from District 13 got together for a big event. The event was the Division leg of the Humorous Speech and Table Topics contest.

That was the year we stopped having the Fall Conference, goingContinue reading “Three Saturdays in October Series: A Speech Contest Like No Other”
Telling Myself I Can at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Wednesday kicked off a new month (aka Pumpkin Fall) and being the first Wednesday meant it was a Toastmasters night in Greensburg. Overall, it was a good night. We had one speaker as our Ice Breaker speaker wasn’t able to make it. Our President taught us to turn our I Can’t into our I CanContinue reading “Telling Myself I Can at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
