Toastmasters Mission
We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.
District 77 Vision
This year we endeavor to resurrect the joy of being a Toastmaster. While one of the benefits of a Toastmasters membership is an investment in your personal growth it shouldn’t feel like a job. It shouldn’t feel like a burden. It should feel like a recreative and creative break from the everyday sludge we sometimes have to drag our feet through. Plan today to bring some lightheartedness, even some silliness to your Toastmasters encounters. As founder Dr. Ralph Smedley said, “We learn best in moments of enjoyment.”
