To Speak or not to speak by Danny J. Stevens
Over the years I have heard a lot about Toastmasters International. 
When I was a DeMolay and competing in ceremonies (pre-written speeches) throughout Washinton State, a dad advisor suggested Toastmasters. I have spent years not improving my abilities in Public Speaking.
Recently, I have had the opportunity to meet with a powerful group of people who are jazzed about accomplishing their goals in life. That group is the Seattle Powergroup. During a goal setting meeting, several of the members gave testimonials about the benefits of being a Toastmaster.
Since that meeting I located a local club and have joined. Having only attended one meeting as of this writing I am excited and am looking forward to learning and developing my public speaking abilities.
