Imagine… Dream … Transform

Our club supports and energizes the individual member to meet their communication and leadership goals. We believe that:

All members of the Hutchinson Toastmasters II club eagerly attend the Thursday morning weekly meeting because they can count on being energized and encouraged by their fellow members to be the best speaker they can be on that day.

Members know the role they are assigned prior to each weekly meeting and come to the meeting well prepared to fulfill that role to the best of their ability.

When first entering the meeting room, members welcome fellow members and visitors, make final preparations to ensure the meeting runs effectively and ensure that all members have the opportunity to practice their speaking skills.

Each meeting begins with a lively business report when members share important announcements that impact the success of the club.

The well prepared, enthusiastic toastmaster leads the educational portion of the meeting where 2-3 members deliver prepared speeches on a variety of topics while audience members practice the key skill of listening intently to the message.

Evaluators pay special attention to the speech objectives of the speaker and provide value added suggestions and offers accolades for the aspects done well.

The well prepared toastmaster gives members without major duties an opportunity to sharpen their “thinking on your feet” skills by asking thought provoking Table Topic questions.

All members thoroughly enjoy, signaled by frequent laughter, the time they’ve spent growing with their friends in this supportive learning environment.

All members leave the meeting, glad they continue to rise early on Thursday mornings and they spread the word about the benefits of Toastmasters.

All members apply the leadership skills they’ve learned by stepping up to fulfilling a club officer role and by going beyond the club as they take on leadership roles in the Toastmasters International structure, in their careers and in the community.

All members confidently express new ideas and follow through to bring in new members to build the strength of the club.

What we Imagine, we will do
What we Dream, we will pursue
What Transforms us makes a difference
For everything we do Matters.
