Member quotes:

"I joined Toastmasters [in 2002] really not thinking that I could keep up the rigorous schedule of once a week. [Y]ears later I have attended faithfully, earned my CTM and am on my way to ATM, made marvelous friends who feel more like family, and plan on staying for the long haul. I stayed away from Toastmasters for years because I was afraid of Table Topics and didn’t think I’d be able to think on my feet intelligently. However, I found out the very first night that if I didn’t know about a subject, I could just make it up as I went along. This is the most supportive, caring organization that I have ever been in and we are constantly working as a team to go for the 'gold'."
Kitty W., Winds of Change Consulting, club member since 2002

"Gilbert Toastmasters has helped me to clarify my communication, develop a competence in my leadership skills and a commitment to life long learning. Toastmasters provides energy, enthusiasm and enlightenment!" --Andrew S., member since 2002

"The people of Gilbert Club #499 are so warm, welcoming, inspiring, and enthusiastic that I felt like I had come home the minute I walked into the room. The positive energy in this club sizzles! If you are looking for a Toastmasters group that lives, breathes, and walks the mission of Toastmasters, this is the group for you." -- Liz S., Life Coach, member since 2005.
