Timberline Toastmaster Club
Tue, August 10, 7:00pm – 8:30pm at Wash Perk
Toastmasters International has grown to become a world leader in helping people become more competent and comfortable in front of an audience. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian. There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved. Good communicators tend to be good leaders.

Book Club
Thu, August 12, 7pm – 9pm at Wash Perk
We are an open, social group and welcome all members. The mission of the Denver Lesbian Book Club is to read and discuss a wide variety of books, with a focus on those by and about lesbians, both fiction and non-fiction, selected by our members. Our focus occasionally shifts to simply wanting to read and discuss good books, preferably woman-themed. Contact:

PERK PUPS -
Word from Joe:
We will resume practice next Saturday, Aug. 14, 10am. Kristi and Joe will be the coaches for that week.
We have some excellent talent on the roster this year. We hope to have a little more structure to the practices this year and build upon the pups skills from last year. Hopefully, each pup learn to dribble, pass, stop the ball, bounce kick, and kick a goal through the tunnel among other things…maybe even take a good team picture.
The website should be updated next week with additional information.
Season will probably go through the beginning of October depending on weather and everybody’s interest. Let me know what you think.
See you next week.
