CRESTVIEW — The Crestview Toastmasters Club will install a new slate of officers to lead the club during the 2016-2017 Toastmaster year at an Open House on June 28.

The public is invited to the event to learn about Toastmasters and meet the new officers. Refreshments will be served beginning at 5:30 p.m. and the meeting will begin at 6 p.m.

Following the installation, Toastmaster members will show visitors how a typical meeting runs. When the meeting has concluded, no later than 7 p.m., guests can visit with members and ask questions about Toastmasters.

The meeting location is at the GFWC club house, 150 Woodlawn, which is one block west of Ferdon Blvd., behind Woodlawn Baptist Church.

The new officers are Patti Adams, President; Bruce Adams, Vice President Education; Angela Williams, Vice President Membership; Richard Powell, Vice President Public Relations; Martha Williams, Secretary; Michael Dunn, Treasurer; and Kathy Morrow, Sergeant at Arms.

The new officers begin their duties July 1 and will serve until June 30, 2017.

Crestview Toastmasters, which is a community club, has been helping people in Crestview become better speakers and leaders since October 2005. Many local businesses have sent employees to Toastmasters to enhance the speaking skills that are so important in today’s workplace.

Crestview Toastmasters Club meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the GFWC club house from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. Visitors are always welcome to visit and learn about becoming a better speaker through peer support.
