Lakeside Speakeasy Toastmasters Club had a very successful January open house — so much so that members will be hosting two more hybrid events on March 5 and April 2, from 12:05 to 12:55 p.m. via Zoom and in Oakland (Room 10001 on the 10th floor of the Broadway building).

Oakland staff will have an opportunity to meet Toastmasters members in person and enjoy a complimentary lunch!
