Quarterly Event: Virtual Story Slam

-

Come one, come all for an afternoon of epic storytelling from the comfort of your home. Experience one of Townsend Toastmaster’s special quarterly events that encourages members to develop speaking skills in a new setting. This is our first story slam and the theme is PERSONAL STORY. Think of it as extended table topics where you tell us a recent personal story that was funny, heartfelt, or impactful to you. For the more adventurous types, we will also offer up some theme/topic ideas for members who want inspiration to come up with an impromptu story.

Storytellers: You have 5 minutes to take the *virtual* stage and share your story. We have 6-7 participants competing to win over the audience with their tale. External club sign ups are closed for this round.

Audience: You'll be one of the judges! At the end of the meeting you will all get to vote on your favorite story. You will be sent a google form link during the meeting. The winner will achieve Epic Glory.

To Attend: There is no charge to register or attend. You must register to attend. Once you register, we'll send you a confirmation email that includes the link to tune in on November 30. We will begin promptly at a 12:05 pm that afternoon. You are welcome to bring your lunch.

It's sure to be an entertaining meeting, so please join us whether you plan to participate or not.

We are very excited to have  Ana Guillén  formally join our club recently! Ana also delivered her inspiring ice-breaker speech titled 'Mile 25' today! In her speech, she vividly shared the unique experience of training for and completing The San Francisco Marathon. She expressed how such an experience has influenced her professional life by challenging herself and preparing for the unplanned. She inspired us by asking: "What mile 25 moment is on the horizon for you? And what will you do to train for it?"   About Ana Ana is a marketing executive at the intersection of technology and content. Beyond marketing, she is passionate about youth culture, the creator economy, and emerging technologies. Off the clock, you’ll find her on a yoga mat, out for a run, or listening to an audiobook.
