President’s Message

As the President of the Moderator Toastmasters Club, I am pleased to welcome you to our website. It will provide you with some basic information about our club, where we meet, how our meetings are organized and how you can join.

I believe the Moderator Toastmaster Club has something to offer anyone who wishes to learn public speaking and leadership. Our weekly meetings provide a friendly setting, a lively and varied program of speaking activities and support from fellow members through formal speech evaluations and informal discussions.

Ever since our Club was founded in 1979 it has provided its members, beginners and veterans, alike with a safe place to develop their public speaking and leadership skills. So feel free to explore our web site, and then consider visiting our Club.

Guests are not obligated to speak. Come and watch us for an evening or two and you will soon experience the “pleasure of communicating and the richness of sharing”. We look forward to meeting you.
