During this month when we think of what makes chills run up and down your spine, we’re usually think Halloween. Even scarier for a lot of folks than ghouls and goblins is speaking in front of a group of people. That’s where Crosswinds Toastmasters can help. The club not only helps you prepare for a speech, but they can help you practice to even make an ad-lib presentation.

The local Toastmasters group has been around for 15 years, so they must be saying something right. The local group meets every Thursday at one at Hellberg’s Jewelers in Downtown Marshalltown.
