If you’re in the central Connecticut area, here are two upcoming events you might be interested in.

Public speaking is something that we all need to be able to do, especially if you’ve got your own business. Well, Monday, May 15th, Eagle Toastmasters of Wallingford is going to have an open house, from 7:15 - 8:45 PM, at the Park & Recreation building, 6 Fairfield Boulevard, Wallingford. If you’ve ever wondered what happens at a Toastmasters meeting, this is a good time to find out. I’ve been in this club for a few years and it has a great bunch of folks. Guests are welcome, the event is free, and there’ll be refreshments (ok, we don’t usually have food at a meeting, thank goodness). A few months ago, Jeff Katz, of the Meriden Record-Journal, came to a meeting. Here’s what he wrote about us.

For women, there’s the next meeting of the Central CT Women’s Forum, on the 16th. (Going to be a busy week for me next week — out two nights in a row!) That’ll be at Aqua Terra Restaurant, 253 East St., (Rt. 10), Plainville, CT. Networking begins at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner and a program: Abby Marks Beale-Beyond Overload: 10 Secrets to Get Back Control. The price for guests is $25. If you’re interested, you’ll need to register by this Friday, May 12th.

As much as I love to spend my days and evenings hunched over a computer, there are times when I just have to go out and have fun. I always have a blast with these two groups.
