Social Event Ideas

Feb 01

The “Moments of Truth” manual suggests it is important for clubs to hold occasional social events for their members to get to know each other outside the club. Some feel social events are a waste of time, or that they are only important for community clubs. Others say social events are quite important for all Toastmasters clubs, that they help the members be closer, that they improve membership retention.

The following social event ideas are compiled from a variety of individuals. Please feel free to add your own suggestions as comments!
