This shared commitment allows members to draw strength from one another and take pride in helping each other grow and develop, and makes learning fun.</p> <p>This Club is a member of Toastmasters International, District 28, Area 2, Club 1563.</p> <p>Our members currently include a manager of information systems, two attorneys, two professors, a financial consultant, two in law enforcement, an agricultural extension agent, retirees and others. Members are from various towns.</p> <p>"We enjoy learning to speak (and listen) better, although it is scary for beginners. Since virtually every member in attendance gets an opportunity to speak to each meeting, even if just for a "Thought for the day", over time the scary feeling goes away, replaced with, 'I want to speak.' We have an organized program to take beginners from their initial fear to that successful speaker feeling. We all support each other, and that makes a big difference. Our club is excellent for both beginners and those who are experienced speakers who want to improve, or just have a good time with others over lunch."
