Join Our Club

 

Who Can Join?

    We invite any adult (age 18 and up only) interested in public speaking and leadership to join. Members must be able to dedicate enough time to participate and make a difference in the organization.

 

Benefits of Joining

    There are many benefits to becoming a member of our organization. Our members are friends and colleagues.  We have a great time when we get together.  We also have a common interest, and work together  to teach and learn from our collective group.  Fear, uncertainty, lack of speaking skills, untapped leadership qualities ... these are all good reasons to join us and help yourself.

    The Toastmasters experience is a structured and disciplined approach to learning, with detailed guidebooks to teach you everything you need to know.  There are multiple facets of communication, as well as leadership that are taught throughout the program.

Play a Variety of Roles

    Each meeting is led by the Toastmaster, who plays an emcee role.  Featured speakers give a prepared speech averaging 5 to 7 minutes in length.  Other meeting roles include Speech Evaluator, General Evaluator, Wordmaster, Grammarian, Timer, and Table Topics Master.   Members will give a prepared speech approximately every 6 weeks, depending on the individual.  When not giving a speech, members play one of the other roles and gain experience with impromptu speaking.  Its all a lot of fun as you learn and grow in these different roles.

 

How Can You Join?

    Usually a person visits a club meeting as a guest, sometimes once, sometimes several times, before deciding to join.  As a guest, you are  welcomed to visit any regular weekly meeting.

    Our club dues are approximately $39.00 semi-annually plus a one time initiation fee of $20.00. When you come to our meeting we will provide you with an application.  We accept personal and business checks only (no credit cards), so remember to bring one to our meeting if you want to join right away.
