- Brent Stewart spoke with Max Kaiser today and proposed a visit by members of South County Toastmasters on Thursday, May 16 at 6:45 p.m. Max was very positive about this. He is at Marymount Manor Nursing Home, 313 Augustine Rd., Eureka, MO 63025. To get there go west on I-44 to Highway 109 (Eureka exit) then double back onto eastbound I-44. Go to Williams Road (Exit 265), exit to Williams Rd., go to Augustine Rd., and go Left. (Hope these directions make sense.) Any Toastmaster who would like to go is welcome. We will just meet at the facility. (For you newer members, Max is a long time Toastmaster who has the amazing ability to speak on ANY subject.) Max has had major health issues since last November.
