        theme: "Leadership"

It was an exciting race as our President Susan Mayberry galloped across the finish line, winning both the Evaluation and International Speech contests at the District Conference this last Saturday. Our Little Blonde had some very tough competition, yet she finished first in both categories.  

In her speech entitled, “Baby Steps”, Susan motivated the audience to reach our highest goals by first taking those beginning steps.  Using examples from her own life, she entertained us, made us laugh and convinced us that even our loftiest aspirations can be obtainable if we just start out small.  

Susan will now go on to the Region II Conference at the Double Tree Hotel in Anaheim on Saturday, June 7.  This is the next to final step in reaching her goal of World Champion of Public Speaking.   Attached is the information and registration form for this exciting event. 

On June 7th, let’s all come out to cheer our Little Blonde as she stretches herself from baby steps to another giant leap towards winner of the International Speech Contest!  Sensational!

Improve your confidence when speaking in front of people!

Toastmasters is dedicated to helping you overcome your fear of public speaking, so why fumble around in the dark with your self-image? Think of your Toastmasters club as a  communications laboratory, a forum for experimentation, a friendly place where it's OK to make mistakes -- in short, a workshop to polish your personal style. 

If  this sounds good to you, then come join us for a light buffet and some great speakers at the Warner Marriott Hotel in Woodland Hills. Currently the most popular Toastmasters meeting location in greater Los Angeles, WCTM at the Marriott provides a wide variety of excellent meeting  rooms for one of Los Angeles' finest and largest Toastmasters groups.

Warner Center Toastmasters has been enhancing careers and enriching interpersonal communications for our members for twenty-five years. Why leave great speaking skills to politicians and captains of industry? You too can speak like a pro, and we'll show you how. 

It all comes together in a clearly defined and well-supported program of speeches and exercises that help you to sharpen your verbal skills, organize your words and gestures, and make you fast on your feet. Lose your fear of speaking in front of a large group, and you'll feel more confident speaking to anybody!

The Warner Marriott is located at 21850 Oxnard Street at the corner of Topanga. From Santa Clarita to Calabasas, Santa Monica to Chatsworth, we have active members from all over the area.

We DO meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month without fail (except Xmas). Meeting begins at 630pm, gavel at 7pm. Meeting concludes approximately 9pm. Guest fee: five dollars.  This site is updated twice a month with forthcoming meeting details, so check back often.  For details, please contact:
