A Home for Storytellers

 

Do you have a story that you are eager to share? A story that you are bursting at the seams to tell? Or a story you just don’t know how to tell or who to tell it to?

We all have stories to tell — not just one, but many. Personal stories about who we are, what we want to achieve, where we’ve been, and where we are going. Stories that not only inspire us, but also inspire and enrich the lives of others.

We once gathered around the fire to tell such stories. But where do we go now? Where is the modern-day fireside?

For nearly a century, Toastmasters has provided a safe and encouraging environment to sharpen our presentation skills for greater clarity and impact. A place to hone the art of storytelling, to pass those stories along and widen our reach.

Pacific Storytellers is a new Toastmasters club that is a home for the storytellers of the world to gather and offer stories of healing, stories of encouragement, stories full of passion — and, of course, stories for entertainment. Come one, come all!

Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek used to say, “Please phrase your answer in the form of a question.” But we at Pacific Storytellers say, “Please express your message in the form of a story.” We are all waiting to hear your story.

Come make your home at Pacific Storytellers. We meet on first and third Wednesdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. PST, on Zoom.

Contact me, Bob King, at bobkingtoastmaster2013@gmail.com for the Zoom link.
