"Welcome to Grand Terrace Toastmasters, Club 290!

We have one of the friendliest and most supportive clubs in Toastmasters.  Do not be surprised if the members come over, shake your hand, and introduce themselves to you before the meeting starts.  We are here not only for the friendship but also to help each other improve on our communication and leadership skills. 
  
I will call our meeting to order promptly at 7:00.  After the meeting ends at 8:15, there is a smaller informal group of members, the 'Morning Munchers', that periodically meet for breakfast.  Feel free to join them too."
