BRAMPTON, Ontario - Aug. 19, 2017 - PRLog -- Brampton Talks Toastmasters Club is holding its first meeting on Monday September 11, 2017 at Ebenezer Community Hall, just south of Gore Meadows Recreation Center and Library.  At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice communication and leadership skills through its current educational program and, soon to come, Pathways. At Toastmasters you learn by doing and receiving feedback and mentoring from experienced Toastmasters, all in a self-paced program.

The newest, and 15th, club in Brampton has two experienced sponsors / founders who will organize and ensure the club gets off to a flying start. Sue Hopcroft and Dennis Bartel who are both members of two clubs in Brampton - Hershaw Toastmasters and Raising Champions Advanced Toastmasters. Hopcroft joined Toastmasters in Oct of 2010 and has helped three clubs charter and served as an Area Director helping four clubs in Brampton succeed. Bartel, a ten year Toastmaster, is a previous President of the Year, served his club for eight years as an officer in various roles, and was District officer for seven years, most recently as the Public Relations Manager for District 86 Toastmasters. Bartel says, "I am looking forward to starting another club in Brampton and helping others gain the confidence and skills I have gained through Toastmasters." Hopcroft and Bartel will bring their experience and other toastmasters to ensure the club is strong and fulfills its mission. Once the club begins, two mentors will continue to shape and help the club.

Brampton Talks will provide members with the opportunity to develop and practice communication and leadership skills in the safe, supportive environment Toastmasters has been known for since its inception in 1924. Members work through projects and assignments that enable them to build real–world skills in a variety of disciplines. The Toastmasters proven curriculum was built on four principles of experiential learning, peer feedback, mentoring, and self-pacing that makes it ideal for adult education in our fast-paced lives.

The two mentors will work with the club for the six months after the 20 members minimum needed to charter is achieved.  Yoshi Perera and Maheeza Mohamed have been appointed as the clubs mentors. Perera, the 2016 District 86 Publicist of the Year and a four-year Toastmaster, has served as an officer of his club Brampton Toastmasters for the past three years.
