Club members have a variety if things to say about Toastmasters
Challengers Club 734:
"When I became an insurance broker, my business associate
and mentor suggested that I join Toastmasters. In order to
promote my business, I started going to various networking
groups, such as Chamber of Commerce. For me it was a very
traumatic experience - my stomach would be in knots, my voice
barely audible and I sounded like the village idiot! So I
decided to check out a Toastmaster’s meeting. All it
took was one meeting and I was hooked. Now I am able to stand
up and tell my audience about myself and my business."
—Dee Roberts, Member Since 1998
"I’ve been in Toastmasters for about 14 years. What
I came to get was the knowledge and confidence to be a paid
public speaker. I have been doing that for the last ten years.
It has given me the practice and expertise to handle any
situation I am in, whether planned or unplanned. I have recouped
so much more than I ever imagined and I still do each time
I attend a meeting."
—Clement Pepe, Member Since 1990
"If you want to be successful, surround yourself with successful
people.” This quote summarizes why I joined Toastmasters
Club 7734. After eight years in the Marine Corps, I felt
confident as a public speaker. What I failed to realize was
that I’d always had a captive audience. Of course a
group of young Marines is going to listen to a Staff Sergeant.
They had no choice! Toastmasters gave me the skills and confidence
to captivate an audience, rather than hold them captive."
—Daryl Buss, Member Since 2000
