Of Interest ...

The missing link has an entirely new meaning these days. Without links, we have to do way too much typing to navigate the turbulent waters of cyberspace.

Of course, your key link in this ocean of information is our club's very own turbobase.com .

It is password protected and contains a wealth of information including contact data for club members, club schedules, and .... well, those are the two most important things.

Then there is your LIVE link! For that one, you need to show up at Denny's on Friday mornings at 7:15 (7 if you are serious, earlier if you are dead serious) for our 1 hour meeting. It will be the highlight of your week. Visitors are welcome! Denny's is at the convergence of Blackstone and Abby at Divisadero near downtown Fresno. I'll volunteer my phone number for directions. It is on until I walk into the meeting: 559-647-2203 .

FYI - I am out of the house by 5 AM Friday mornings and offline from 6-6:30. Other than that, if you need something last minute - CALL ME.

Yet another vital link for Toastmasters is our Toastmasters International web site. There are mounds of information there for anyone to rake through. I have found some wonderful resources on that site.

Here are some other links on public speak I found by browsing the Internet:

How to Conquer Public Speaking Fear by Morton C. Ormond M.D.. Yes, he is trying to sell a book, but in the process, he gives some wonderful free information.

Here is another semi-commercial site with a free e-zine: Advanced Public Speaking Institute . There are some fantastic articles there.

Another is School for the Campions.

McGraw-Hill has a site. That's right - the publisher.

A fellow Toastmaster has a site called A Research Guide for Students . Not bad stuff.

That should keep you busy for now - but in case it doesn't, try this link: PastorTomSims.com . In today's entry I recomend a very important new book on blogging for business with some great web sites.
