Ridgewood Toastmasters was founded in May 1958. Since then
it has grown and changed over the years as new members have been added and
other members have left to pursue other goals. But one thing has remained
constant. Ridgewood Toastmasters is a fun and easygoing place where its members
can practice speaking and leadership at their own pace.
John Citti, a member for more than 10 years says,
Toastmasters has given me the tools to get my message across.
Michael Malm, a new member says, Toastmasters gives me a
forum to try different speaking methods and styles I would be too afraid to try
elsewhere.
Ridgewood Toastmasters meets on the second and fourth
Tuesday in the month at 7:30 pm at the Unitarian Society Fellowship room in
Ridgewood, New Jersey. If you are new to the area, looking for a place to
practice your speaking and leadership skills, or just looking for a place to
hang out and talk, Ridgewood Toastmasters is the place for you.
Our meeting goes from 7:30 to 9:30 PM most nights. There are
usually five speeches, which can be about anything the member wishes to
speak about. Then a fellow member evaluates them. In an evaluation the first
and foremost job of the evaluator is to congratulate the person on giving the
speech and tell him what was good about the speech and what could use
improvement. The goal is for the member to keep getting better as he goes
along.
So come and try Ridgewood Toastmasters and let us welcome
you to a meeting filled with hospitality, laughter, and excitement. We bet you
will not be able to stay away.
