Fremantle Gateway
Competitors in our recent Humorous Speech Competition
In October 1924, a group of men assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the basement of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, U.S.A., forming a club to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings, and to promote sociability and good fellowship among its members. The group took the name Toastmasters. We are a local Advanced Club of Toastmasters International.
Today, Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests. Toastmasters International includes more than 235,000 men and women in more than 12,036 clubs in more than 106 countries.
Experienced professionals and beginning speakers alike can benefit from our practical, face-to-face learning program. Whether you're speaking to the board of directors, your customers, your co-workers or your kids, Toastmasters can help you do it better. You'll learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with people who are there for the same reason you areto become better communicators.
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. Fremantle Gateway Toastmasters Club is made up of around 25 people who meet every Tuesday for about an hour and a half. Each meeting gives members an opportunity to conduct meetings, present prepared speeches, and offers constructive evaluations in a relaxed, social atmosphere.
