Toastmasters:

Is not what most people think. Filmmaker Keva Rosenfeld summed it up so eloquently in his Day to Day piece on NPR this November, "Fun? I expected a room full of blowhards and social misfits. But instead it was an affable group of about 20. All ages. Highly self-motivated. Very punctual. Not like anyone I know."
