I'm so glad you posted this! I was trying to tell HFES about Toastmasters last week, as I went to a few of their meetings when I interned at Ford, but I could not remember what it was called.
ReplyDeleteSure thing! The Toastmaster's Blacksburg club meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month at 7 pm, usually (but not always) at Blacksburg Public Library at Draper & Clay (sometimes at the Blacksburg Park and Recreation building). See http://3351.toastmastersclubs.org/ - And I'll be attending the next meeting if you care to join me!
