Voices of Mount Pleasant Toastmasters Club, part of District 29, held its highly anticipated 2nd Annual Open House on Sunday, June 22, 2025, welcoming guests and potential new members for an inspiring afternoon of public speaking, leadership, and community engagement.
The Open House was conducted as a lively, hands-on Toastmasters meeting, giving attendees an authentic look into how club meetings are structured, with a dedicated Toastmaster of the Day, powerful prepared speeches, spirited Table Topics, and thoughtful evaluations. Guests were able to experience firsthand how the Toastmasters Program helps individuals build confidence, sharpen their communication skills, and become more effective speakers and leaders.
