Fellow Toastmasters,It happened this afternoon, the phone rang: WPAA – TV, if we wanted to partner with the local Wallingford TV station and they are looking for a host who can facilitate conversations and there is a poetry event this Saturday ….. I almost fell of my chair (Ute and television – that’s an oxymoron!).
To ease us into this new adventure we are invited to a Night of Poetry this coming Saturday.
And here are the details:
Who: Connecticut Teens who won Connecticut performance poetry competitions
What: Will do a feature performance after a day of being coached in performance technique.
Where: WPAA-TV 28 So. Orchard St Wallingford CT 06492 Saturday April 14th 8 PM
Why: To raise funds to help pay for travel to national competition in California & get performance feedback from audience.
Public Welcome. COST: No tickets or entry fee. Refreshment to be served - no charge. Hat will be passed for donations.

Why Toastmasters Members are being invited: 1) They potentially can give these young people good feedback. 2) There may be opportunity to use this community space for Toastmasters Meetings etc in the future.
We could head over to “Jakes” afterwards and discuss how much courage (aka drinks) we might need to go on local TV!
A new door is opening up. The life of a Toastmaster can be exciting.
The local contact is Susan Adele Huizenga, Community Media Advocate here in Wallingford. She found us on Meetup.com
I cc her on this email.
I might see you for poetry on Saturday – or Monday for our regular meeting.
Ute
