Public speaking skills are crucial to personal growth and success. Many people, however, find public speaking challenging.

If you want to meet that challenge and become an effective public speaker, Toast-masters offers a time-tested and internationally recognized program to do so. Cape Coral Toastmasters “provides a mutually supportive, positive, and enjoyable learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.”

The group meets the first and third Monday of every month from 6-7:30 p.m. at Providence Christian Church in the Administra-tion Building, 701 Mohawk Parkway. Call 239-284-6666 for more information, or just drop in.
