Power of Culture

Early Bird Ocala very rarely has a dull meeting and today was no exception!   Latasha H. was our Toastmaster of the Day and her theme was the Power of Culture.  Her content and delivery were inspiring and noteworthy! To boot, we had a first-time visitor who joined on the spot!   Why?  Because she saw an opportunity to grow in an environment that is not threatening!  Why not come out and meet us and see what this club is all about.  We meet every Saturday at 8am (gavel down at 8:15am) and we have fun! Caw-Caw!

Kudos to our Area 71 Contest Winners

Contests can be nerve-wracking and exciting all at the same time. Two of our seasoned members represented Early Bird Ocala Toastmasters at the Area Level in February - Colette Smith and Steve Vaughn.  Congratulations on your wins; we are so proud of your efforts. Colette will move forward to the Division level representing our club in the Tall Tales Contest, which should take place online on March 25 from 4:30pm-6:00pm.  Again kudos to you both and thank you for representing our club so well!
