Fountain City Toastmasters Club #1266 has helped many men and women become better speakers since its charter in 1953.  The learn by doing approach used in Toastmasters works to encourage speakers in a positive atmosphere.  Why pay thousands of dollars for a seminar when you can join Toastmasters for a fraction of the cost and have fun in the process?

Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.

Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.

Fountain City Toastmasters is a community club open to all interested adults. Come join the fun and learning!  Guests are always welcome!  Meetings are on first and third Thursdays at 6:50pm at the Wallace Memorial Baptist Church on Merchants Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee, upstairs in room S-242.
