The environment in a Toastmasters club is friendly and supportive. Everyone at a Toastmasters meeting feels welcome and valued - from complete beginners to advanced speakers. In a club meeting, you practice giving prepared speeches as well as brief impromptu presentations, known as Table Topics. There is no rush and no pressure: The Toastmasters program allows you to progress at your own pace. Constructive evaluation is central to the Toastmasters philosophy. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths as well as suggest improvements. Receiving - and giving - such feedback is a great learning experience. In Toastmasters, encouragement and improvement go hand-in-hand. Our club meets twice a month (2nd and 4th Thursday of the month traditionally. During the pandemic we meet on zoom. When we are having face to face meetings, we meet at the White Pond Building in Fairlawn. Guests are always welcomed, membership is affordable, and the benefits you have while networking with likeminded people outpace the investment you will make in YOU!
