I gave a speech at the San Diego “Voyagers” Toastmasters Club this morning. The Voyagers are the most vibrant and active Toastmasters Club I have ever visited. Many small clubs are struggling to attract enough members to hold meaningful meetings. The Voyagers seem to have people standing in line to give speeches.

I was honored to get a slot as a guest speaker. My title was “I am a Bookstore Mooch,” and the theme was loosely based on the content of this blog entry in the past.

Toastmasters is a great way to improve your public speaking skills, boost your confidence in standing in front of a crowd, train your ability to think on your feet and most importantly, learn how to think before you speak. — And it is a fun social activity.
