The coronavirus was rampant at the Toastmasters Convention. Several of our members returned from the convention and tested positive with COVID. Due to the concerns of the continued transmission of coronavirus and in consideration of the health and safety of our trainers and Toastmasters, we have decided to change the format of this Saturday’s TLI (8/27) from "in person" to “virtual." If you have already registered for the in person TLI, an email will be going out to all registrants announcing the change and providing the Zoom link for Saturday’s TLI.  If you have not registered, please click on the Eventbrite link to register for the virtual TLI.
