Toastmasters International is in the process of re-vamping their pathways programs and the online interface to access them, called Basecamp. Between October 8-25th, the Pathways will not be accessible. Members can access the "Your Evaluation" page on Base Camp to download full PDFs of any project in their path they may want to access during the outage. New members are still able to plan and deliver their icebreaker using this link.

October 28th
October 28th
On October 28th, we will hold a special meeting that deviates from the traditional format of our meetings. Inspired by the hit Canadian show "Whose Line Is it Anyway", members and guests will be invited to the stage to practice their improv speaking abilities.
Kathryn has begun planning this event and welcomes any other members to help her organize the meeting.
