About the book: 

​

In the early 1900s, prior to World War I, New York City was a vortex of vice and corruption. On the Lower East Side, then the most crowded ghetto on earth, Eastern European Jews formed a dense web of crime syndicates. Gangs of horse poisoners and casino owners, pimps and prostitutes, thieves and thugs, jockeyed for dominance while their family members and neighbors toiled in the unregulated garment industry. But when the notorious murder of a gambler attracted global attention, a coterie of affluent German-Jewish uptowners decided to take matters into their own hands. Worried about the anti-immigration lobby and the uncertain future of Jewish Americans, the uptowners marshalled a strictly off-the-books vice squad led by an ambitious young reformer.

Gain the skills and confidence to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a mature manager, student, young professional, career advancer or looking to make an impact in your community, Toastmasters is the most efficient, supportive, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. 

​

• Be more persuasive and confident when giving speeches
• Practice to become a leader and an eloquent speaker
• Grow into a better negotiator and sharpen your management skills
• Gain trust and inspire teams

​

​

Toastmasters members report getting promoted because of their ability to build a convincing argument, landing better job opportunities while networking because of polished impromptu speaking skills, impressing a hiring manager during an interview and expressing their thoughts when speaking in public at formal or informal functions.

​

​

How Toastmasters Works: 

​

Members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. The Bethel Toastmasters club is made of 10-20 people who meet on the first and third Monday of each month for up to two hours. Each meeting gives members and guests several opportunities:

​

• Guests and members present one- to two-minute, impromptu speeches about assigned topics.
• Members learn how to plan and conduct meetings.
• Members present speeches based on projects from the Pathways learning experience—Toastmasters' education program. Projects cover topics such as speech organization, vocal variety, language, gestures and persuasion.
• Every speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement.
• New members are offered the opportunity to work with a mentor
