Hi everyone! How are you all doing? :-)

It's been a while since my last post as Vice President Public Relations for Newtown Toastmasters club and while Jane, who's our VPPR, is currently overseas, guess who's baaaaack!!

Our club theme tonight is:
Impromptu Speaking - which for some people is more scary than ghosts and goblins! Get ready to step outside your comfort zone and tackle this topic head on. Other than Table Topics, you'll also get to play some theatre sport games as well as charades.

Come and celebrate the evening with us and wear a novelty hat as well (optional 😀).

See you at 7:30pm tonight, at the Newtown Community Center!
All Welcome.
