Get rid of 'ums' and 'ahs' by joining National Press Toastmasters Club; open house update

Would you like to enhance your communication effectiveness and take your journalistic skills to greater heights? Get rid of those “uhms” and “ahs”? Tame your nerves when you speak in front of people?

If so, consider joining the National Press Toastmasters Club. To visit its website, click here. For less than the cost of three weekly cups of coffee, the Toastmasters program can help you enhance your public speaking presence and prepare you for any occasion you find yourself in front of an audience of any size.

Toastmasters has been at the National Press Club for 31 years and has helped train many a distinguished speaker. One of our members recently won the Washington, D.C., area international speech contest and went on to compete in Malaysia.

The National Press Toastmasters Club meets on the 13th floor of the National Press Club at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Drop in and see what it’s about!

Please note that a previously scheduled April 27 open house has been postponed. We’ll post more details when we have them.
