The
mission of a Toastmasters Club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive
learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication
and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.
Toastmasters
International is the leading movement devoted to making effective oral communication
a worldwide reality. Through its member Clubs, Toastmasters International helps
men and women learn the arts of speaking, listening and thinking -- vital skills
that promote self-actualization, enhance leadership potential, foster human understanding,
and contribute to the betterment of mankind. It is basic to this mission that
Toastmasters International continually expand its worldwide network of Clubs,
thereby offering ever-greater numbers of people the opportunity to benefit from
its programs.
Greetings to our guests! Please check

"The
people of Gilbert Club #499 are so warm, welcoming, inspiring, and enthusiastic
that I felt like I had come home the minute I walked into the room. The positive
energy in this club sizzles! If you are looking for a Toastmasters group that
lives, breathes, and walks the mission of Toastmasters, this is the group for
you."
-- Liz S., Life Coach, member since 2005.
