Great! You are
interested in joining and you do not know what to do next. Your first
step is to attend one of our meetings as a guest. Actually sitting in on
one of our meetings is an enjoyable experience. You will witness first
hand what an average meeting agenda entails.
Attending a meeting does not commit you in any way. You will not be
forced to stand up and speak or participate in any of our exercises if
you do not wish to. You can attend as many times as you like as a guest.
Once you are ready to begin your Toastmasters journey, we will present
you with an application for membership. Don't worry, one of our more
experienced members will walk you through the application process!
The Toastmasters program is cost effective, especially when compared to
seminars charging hundreds of dollars per day. New members pay a
one-time joining fee of $31.00 plus pro-rated membership dues. To remain
an active member, the membership renewal dues are $37.00 ($27.00 for
Toastmaster International dues and $10.00 for club dues), paid twice
annually.
Each new Toastmaster receives a New Member Kit. The kit features a copy
of the basic Communication and Leadership manual, general orientation
materials and information regarding skill improvement in areas such as
speech evaluation and the use of gestures. The initial prepared
speeches, as outlined in the basic Communication and Leadership program
manual, are designed with the new Toastmaster in mind.
In addition, you will receive a subscription to the "Toastmaster"
magazine. This magazine is issued monthly and contains educational
articles and features that supplement the communication and leadership
programs.
What are you waiting for? Come on down and visit us at your earliest
convenience. We would love to have you as our guest!
