Editor: John C Graves April 13, 2006 Warner Center Toastmasters guests welcomed
"Career Options"

Wouldn't it be great to advance your public speaking skills? You may find the answers in a book, but WCTM can help you take action and put principles into practice. Think of your Toastmasters club as a communications laboratory, a forum for experimentation, a place to work on your own, personal style. Why fumble around in the dark with your self-image? We can help.

Toastmasters has nothing to do with drinking, there’s no secret handshake, nor do we pledge our lives and our sacred trust to the organization. We simply want to communicate better – the old-fashioned way, by speaking well, greeting, and introducing people better.

If this sounds good to you, then come join us for a light buffet and some great speakers at the Warner Marriott Hotel in Woodland Hills. Among the most prestigious and popular Toastmasters meeting locations in greater Los Angeles, the Marriott provides a wide variety of superb meeting rooms for one of Los Angeles' finest Toastmasters organizations. (Images presented here are from Mar 23 06 meeting.)
Warner Center Toastmasters has been enhancing careers and enriching interpersonal communications for our members for more than two decades. Why leave great speaking skills to politicians and CEO's? You too can speak like a pro, and we'll show you how.
It all comes together in a clearly defined and well-supported program of speeches and exercises that help you to sharpen your verbal skills, organize your words and gestures, and make you fast on your feet. Lose your fear of speaking in front of a large group, and you'll feel more relaxed speaking to anyone!
The Warner Marriott is located at 21850 Oxnard Street at the corner of Topanga. From Granada Hills to Calabasas, Santa Monica to Chatsworth, we have active members from all over the area. We DO meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month without fail (except Xmas). Meeting begins at 630pm, gavel at 7pm. Meeting concludes approximately 9pm. Guest fee: five dollars. This site is updated twice a month with forthcoming meeting details, so check back often. For more information, please contact:
