WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Being opened to the public, guests are always welcomed to check out what we have to offer at our club.
Arrive five to ten minutes prior to starting so that you can speak to one of our members, ask questions, and comfortably settle in.
After that, just sit back and relax, but be ready to introduce yourself! Remember, this is a "public speaking" and "leadership" club. We'll simply ask what your name is and how you came to find out about us.
After that, you'll notice the meeting is structured with specific roles. To find out more, check out our page on meeting roles in the resources section.
