Once you have visited a few times and feel that our club is right for you,
it is time to join. Joining Spoke Masters Toastmasters is easy! You will
fill out a brief application and submit it, along with the club dues, to the
Treasurer.
All new members must pay a one-time $20 new member fee which goes to
Toastmasters International. This fee pays for your new member kit, which
includes your basic communication and leadership manual. This manual
contains the first 10 speech projects you will present.
In addition to the new member fee, you will pay the normal club dues, which
are $27 and local dues of $8 every 6 months (dues will be pro-rated depending on what month you
join). Once you join, the $27 club dues and local dues of $8 are payable April 1 and October 1 of
each year. Included in your membership is a monthly subscription to The
Toastmaster magazine, a professional Toastmasters International publication.
Once you join, you will be encouraged to participate in meetings right away.
Sign up to get on the schedule to give your first speech, called the "Ice
Breaker" speech. In the meantime, sign up to serve various meeting roles,
such as Timer, Grammarian, or Pledge Leader. |
