Hey guys,

Have you ever heard of Toastmasters? Honestly, I totally forgot to bring that up in our last meeting =.=

Basically its a club where you can develop two skills, Communication Skills (giving a lecture, presentation, improve body movements, vocal varity, etc..) and Management skills (get some tasks, be a committee member, be club president, manage an event for the club).
I have been with the club for over a year now, and it is really interesting and fun!!

We (club members) meet once a week (Monday), the session goes from 8.15 till 10.15. I know it's a little bit late for this time, but you are most welcome to visit the club next week and check it out yourself before you join (if you decide to :P), we are more than happy to welcome guests at our club :)

You can find info more on toastmasters.org.

Where in Khobar?

3dnan

Ops.. .It is located in Dammam.. (admin, can you move this topic to Dammam forum :S)

Anyway, I will update the post with a location map of the place, it should be easy to get to.
If you need more help, just drop me a message and we can get in touch.

There are many toastmasters clubs around the world (10 in Dammam-khobar area itself), not all clubs  are open to public, but our club is :)

Hello Maysaadi,

The next meeting will be held this Monday, but this particular club is meeting in Dammam.
I am sure you will find similar clubs in Jeddah as well :)

Maysaadi

No no, I moved with my husband to Al Khobar! :) I forgot to edit my location!

3dnan

Welcome to Khobar :D, if you need any help around the city, then let us know :)

So would you like to join us this Monday for the meeting?

Maysaadi

Oh so it's this Monday then. Unfortunately I can't make it:( But please keep us updated. Hopefully the next time I'll be able to attend. Many thanks.

sbkhan303

I wanted to join the club. Please give me more details

3dnan

There is an open house tomorrow at the same venue at 8:00 pm, basically it's a demo meeting where you get to know more about the club and it's activities. Not an official meeting but more like a welcoming to those who are interested to know more about the club.

I won't be available as I am in western region currently (work :/), but I guarantee to you that the club memebers will take good care of you, drop me msg and I will forward to you the number of the person on charge of Membership.
Location is already mentioned on the first post :)

Again, your most welcome to join :)

Hey Daniel,

I visited the Damman Diamond Toastmasters meeting this past Monday. I had a great time and was made to feel very welcome. I'm planing on going this coming Monday as well.

Greeting
My name is BenMahfooz and I'm the current president for New Discovery Toastmasters Club.
We are located inside Aramco office area.
I have been contacted by people who would like to join Toastmasters, unfortunately I can't accommodate them because they are not Aramco.
Would your club accept female as members? And what division is the club under? We are under Division M.
You cooperation is highly appreciated.

3dnan

Greetings to you too!

Definately, our clubs welcomes both male and female, we meet in Dammam thou, is that suitable with them?

Regards,

Don Ben

Thank you Adnan for your quick response.
At least one I know it might be far for her as she lives in Khobar. I will inform the others.
Would you know any club in Khobar who accept females?
And I would like to pay your club a visit in the near future. If you could send me the location
I will be out of Saudi for a short while, but I look forward to visit clubs outside Aramco.

3dnan

We will be more than happy to welcome you :)

the link shows our meeting place http://goo.gl/maps/wHJIS
Also, this is the link to our website at TMI http://goo.gl/3NtTtJ

I think Discovery, Oasis & Sahara clubs do accept female clubs in Khobar, feel free to contact them and find out, you may find their details from TMI website as well :)

P.S. apologize for the late response, got held up a bit.
