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 affiliated club 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. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and offering constructive evaluation.
