Testimonial: "Fellow Toastmasters: Two months ago I was asked to chair the first past presidents meeting of Landscape Ontario. It was to involve 10 of the past presidents and the present board of directors. The meeting was scheduled to last 4 hours. At the end of the meeting several of those participating came up to me and said have you ever learned a lot at toastmasters great job. Toastmasters is a big reason it succeeded. It is not just feeling much more comfortable in front of others but more importantly what has been learned being on the executive and also filling all the meeting roles over the past several years. Why did the meeting work?
· Spent a considerable amount of time on preparing for the meeting. · Took time at the beginning to do proper introductions why we were there and being very clear what we wanted to accomplish. · Made sure we covered the agenda items yet kept the meeting moving and finishing on time. · Every person in the room spoke and contributed to the meeting. · Highlighted the action items at the end of the meeting.
All things that have been learned at Toastmasters."

In October 1924, a group of men assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the basement of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, U.S.A., forming a club to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings, and to promote sociability and good fellowship among its members. The group took the name Toastmasters. We are a local chapter of Toastmasters International.
Today, Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests. Toastmasters International includes more than 199,000 men and women in more than 9,300 clubs in more than 70 countries.

At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet once a week for about an hour or two. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and offering constructive evaluation.
