Local officials to provide inspiration

COEUR d'ALENE - A night of "talented, funny, and inspiration voices" is coming to the Lake City on Monday.

Coeur d'Alene Mayor Sandi Bloem, Cd'A Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Todd Christensen and Post Falls chamber President Pam Houser will talk on "courage to change."

The free event will be 6-8:45 p.m. at the Coldwell Banker building, 2000 Northwest Blvd.

"These speakers have won awards and elections. Their words and insights will entertain and inform anyone who wants to accomplish more in life or business," according to a press release.

Area Toastmaster groups are sponsoring the gathering because they believe the art of public speaking can be a powerful, positive influence in people's lives.

In the current economy, people are looking for ways to improve as well as inspire others, and that's where Toastmasters can help, said Maryruth Dilling.

"Toastmasters has been instrumental in my life, helping me change and turn my life around," she said.
