Follow on Google News | Toastmasters Clubs in Cornwall Join ForcesThe Seaway Toastmasters Club of Cornwall and Smart City Toastmasters (also of Cornwall) came together in a combined effort to build public awareness of Toastmasters in the area.
By: Kimberley Thompson VPPR Seaway Toastmasters Although Smart City Toastmasters has been in Cornwall for about 6 years now and Seaway Toastmasters for 50 years, it's amazing how few people know of their existence! We (Claudette and I) decided a good first step in getting the word out would be to set up a Mall Display. So, from 18h30 to 20h30 Friday January 15 and from 11h00 to 15h00 on Saturday January 16 We set up a table in front of the food court at the Cornwall Square; Cornwall's largest and busiest mall. There we were able to be facing people getting off the escalator. Even with just one small table we had quite an impressive display featuring the Toastmasters movie, magazines, brochures, posters, fact sheets and some handy bookmarks that read, "Books will build your vocabulary, Toastmasters will help you use it." Meeting and contact information for both clubs printed on the back makes it easy for people to get in touch when they're ready. And They plan to spread Toastmasters awareness even further by donating the left over bookmarks and magazines to the local public library. Claudette set up a poster to promote Smart City's upcoming demo meeting in February, while Kimberley offered tickets for a free meeting to Seaway Toastmasters. Over the two days there was a good amount of interest with about 25 packets of information given out. People who approached us had quite a few questions about Toastmasters and how it worked. And even the ones who just walked by couldn't do so without at least looking at the banner so we can be sure a good many more people in Cornwall will "Think Toastmasters" # # # About The Seaway Toastmasters Club of Cornwall: The Seaway Toastmasters Club of Cornwall has been named a distinguished club many times within the Toastmasters International organization. Seaway Toastmasters delivers a top notch educational programme that will help anyone who wants to improve their chances for success on both personal and professional levels.
