What are meetings like?
At Norwalk Toastmasters, 20 to 25 people are usually in attendance, and we are known for being a friendly, supportive club. Chairs are set up theater-style with a lectern at the front of the room. The program is hosted by a volunteer Toastmaster, and involves 12 to 14 other members in voluntary speaking roles. One segment, Table Topics, gives everyone the chance to speak for 2 minutes.
Who joins Toastmasters?
People join for many reasons, but mainly, they want to become confident communicators, and develop as public speakers. To join Toastmasters, there is a one-time initiation fee of $20. Membership dues are $36 for 6 months.
What happens after I join?
Soon after joining a Toastmaster club, you receive your basic manual of 10 speech assignments. You set your own goals for completing the speeches, and the club supports your progress. After completing the first manual, you receive a Competent Toastmaster award. The next level of speeches completed is awarded as an Accomplished Toastmaster.
Your goals can be as challenging as you wish them to be.
You are cordially invited to be our guest at any meeting. Hope to see you there!
