He says that the public speaking classes offered at Sinclair offer a great jumping off point, but the club will allow further honing of the skills these communication classes introduce.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Class is only 11 weeks,&#8221; Morris says. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t give people the opportunity to expand on what they learn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A meeting will be held on April 10 at 1:30 p.m. in the basement of Building 8. Students, faculty and staff are all encouraged to attend. Morris says response to the project has been good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have about 15 people interested,&#8221; says Morris. &#8220;We are trying to get the word out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyone interested in joining should attend the meeting on April 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sinclair Community College students who love public speaking now have a place they can go to get their fix: the Sinclair chapter of Toastmasters International.
