If you are attending the Non-Instructional Staff Holiday Luncheon in the Georgian Room on Dec. 16, please come through the Blue Room to hang your coat and be greeted by the dogs and their handlers of the Greater Lehigh Therapy Dogs organization.  These wonderful canines bring comfort, companionship, and a wagging tail to those in local hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and the community.  If you prefer, you may bypass the Blue Room and enter the Georgian Room via the underpass entrance across from the Public Safety office.

We continue to accept cat and dog donations for One by One Cat Rescue and Almost Home Animal Sanctuary.  Please bring your donations to the luncheon or to the Financial Aid Office.

Become the speaker and leader you want to be with Toastmasters.

Are you nervous speaking in front of groups of colleagues or supervisors?

Are you interested in advancing your communication and leadership skills?

Would you like to build your confidence or, communication skills?

Perhaps you’ve wanted to advance in your career, but you’re not sure what it takes.

If your response to any of these questions is "yes," then you may be interested in Toastmasters! 

People with good communication skills are more likely to be promoted to leadership positions, and good leaders need communication skills to be effective, especially in a competitive job market.  In other words, if you want to be a leader, you have to learn to speak like a leader.  And Toastmasters is here to help. Join up with friends and colleagues at the next Kutztown Area Toastmasters meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 5 p.m. in 322 McFarland Student Union. Shape your words and your future!
