			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong>Welcome to the Pretoria East Toastmasters Club&#8217;s website!</strong></div>
<p>Our club is based in <a href="http://www.pretoria.co.za/" target="_blank">Pretoria</a>, South Africa. Our meeting venue is in Menlyn, situated in the commercial heartland of the capital city.</p>
<div><strong>Background of our Club:</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span><br />
The Pretoria East Toastmasters Club provides a supportive learning environment which enables members to develop public speaking and leadership skills. Our organization is a member club of <a href="http://www.toastmasters.org/" target="_blank">Toastmasters International,</a> a nonprofit organization dedicated to help people learn the arts of speaking, listening and thinking.</div>
<p>The difference to a Toastmaster&#8217;s success is <em>Practice</em>. Instead of passively listening to lectures,  people can  truly improve their public speaking skills by  speaking in front of others regularly.</p>
<p>Our club provides a supportive atmosphere for members to speak before the club. By taking advantage of our speaking opportunities, you&#8217;ll find that those shy and awkward feelings  with public speaking will begin to diminish quickly.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re welcome to become a guest at our  meetings to see how we help members improve their skills. Our meetings are held at 18:30 for 19:00 every 2<sup>nd</sup> and 4<sup>th </sup>Wednesday  of every month at the Lions Club, Umgazi road, Menlo Park.</p>
<p>Upon signing up, you receive a training manual and will be assigned to a mentor. Your first speech is a four-minute &#8220;ice-breaker&#8221; that tells others about yourself.</p>
<p>Our membership fees comprise of an once-off joining fee of R 160 and semi-annual fees of R 480. The semi-annual fees are due by every member twice a year by the end of March and September.</p>
<p>For more information, feel free enter your details in the visitors book and we will contact you.</p>
