Toastmasters Club Ever yearned to be a better speaker? A Toastmasters Club has been proposed for the bar association—to meet monthly at the bar offices. A preliminary meeting will be held in February to discuss the program. Experienced speakers and former members of other Toastmasters Clubs are invited to attend this planning session. Toastmasters offers a supportive environment in which members can improve their speaking skills specifically for their practices, the bar’s speakers’ bureau and CLE presentations. For complete information about the proposed CBA-CLE Toastmasters Club, and to register to receive information about the February meeting, visit www. wikiwebs.com/cle. Members can register their interest at this site to participate.
