Becoming a Member

We are always looking for people interested in joining our organization.

Who Can Join?

We invite anybody interested in the issues and topics we focus our efforts on to join. To get the best and fullest experience, we strongly encourage members to participate in the club's leadership and make a difference in the organization.

Benefits of Joining

There are many. Our members often become friends and we have a good time when we get together. On a personal level, you will improve your communication, listening and leadership skills, which will translate into more confidence and a better quality of life overall.  What part of life doesn't involve communication?

How Can You Join?

Visit a club meeting to find out what we're all about.  Once you decide to join, we will need a completed application and membership dues for the first six months. Please contact us for more information and a copy of the application.
 
Play a Variety of Roles
 
At each meeting we have a Toastmaster, Grammarian, Joke Master, Timer, Table Topics Master, Speakers, General Evaluator and Speech Evaluators. Members are encouraged to deliver speeches at regular intervals (every 1-2 months), but members are allowed to set their own pace at their discretion. When you are not giving speeches you will have a chance to play a different role and gain other experiences.  You'll have a lot of fun as you learn and grow in these different roles.
