We hold meetings every Wednesday from noon to 1pm (pacific time). All meetings are hybrid.

During a typical Toastmasters meeting, members gather to practice public speaking and leadership skills through a structured agenda. 

The agenda follows the format that beings with introductions, then prepared speeches, followed by impromptu speaking exercises, and finally constructive evaluations.

Membership Costs:

  • First-time Members: $92 for 6 months + $20 one-time application fee (and a credit card fee of $3.25)
  • Renewal: $72 every 6 months (credit card fee: $3.25)

Dues are prorated if you join mid-term.

It is a simple three step process to apply:

  1. Submit your membership application to our VP of Membership.
  2. Send our Treasurer the membership fee; we accept PayPal, money orders, checks, and more.
  3. You’re all set! We look forward to your Icebreaker speech (a 4-6 minute speech where you introduce yourself to the club).
