Visitors are always welcome, without
reservations. In fact before you can join our club we suggest you
attend as a visitor two or three times. Feel free to drop by! |
Most
Toastmasters are guest to begin with. As guests, you can attend the
different clubs to see which one you are most comfortable with. You
can also participate in the Table Topic section of the meetings.
When you find that you are interested enough in one club, you can
become a member. As a member of Toastmasters, you pay an annual due
to your club. Your club will get all the materials you
need.
|
New members
receive a New Member Kit, to start you on your way to success.
Included in this kit is the Communication and Leadership manual, a
workbook of 10 speech projects which will help you develop your
speaking skills. Also included is the manual "Effective Speech
Evaluation," which will help you provide feedback to others and to
make the most of their evaluation of your efforts. "Your Speaking
Voice" and "Gestures: Your Body Speaks" offer tips in two areas
critical to effective speaking. Additionally, you will receive a
Toastmaster magazine on a monthly basis.
Since the
Toastmaster program is self-paced, how quickly you learn will depend
on how much effort you put into it. Toastmasters International
provides a variety of materials to help members in their
self-development efforts. Be sure to speak to our VP of Education,
an experienced Toastmaster who is well acquainted with these
materials. |
