Welcome to Horizon Toastmasters
Toastmasters' clubs are dedicated to helping members become better communicators. We hope that you will visit a Horizon Toastmasters Club meeting soon (we meet every Tuesday at 7 pm).
Communicating is more than speaking. Good communications also includes listening, leading teams, conducting meetings, and giving and receiving constructive feedback. Public speaking can be a critical part of career advancement or working effectively in volunteer organizations.
A Toastmasters' meeting includes much more than presenting a prepared speech. Impromptu speaking, learning how to organize and run a meeting, and persuading and motivating your team are some of the additional skills that you learn as a Toastmaster. As a member of Toastmasters, you can enhance all of these other skills in addition to improving your public speaking.
There is no charge to attend a meeting as a visitor.
We hope to see you Tuesday!
INVITE A FRIEND meeting theme announced for Tuesday, May 13, 2008 meeting! Come and check out Horizon Toastmasters!
Horizon members will be inviting friends to this meeting, and giving a brief introduction of their guests at the beginning of the meeting.

When you pair his victory with Martin Birkbeck's second place showing in the Table Topics contest, we can proudly say that Horizon Toastmasters is the best club in the state of Georgia.
