I am a slow learner, having joined Toastmasters with the intent to be a member for one year to practice the skills that I had learned in Speechcraft. Speechcraft is a four to eight session workshop designed to teach non-Toastmasters communication skills, and incidentally to bring in new members to the sponsoring Toastmasters club. I joined Northrop Grumman Toastmasters Club 212 that had sponsored an eight-session Speechcraft. That was in November of 1978. What I learned was that my membership in Toastmasters has provided me with the opportunity to learn things that I would never learned on my job or in my personal life. Likewise, I have had the opportunity to meet people and to do things that I would not have had on my job or in my life. Most of all, I learned about myself and how I am with different people in different situations. This has been one tremendous ride so far, and I invite you to join us!
