Convenient Evening Meetings in Haddonfield, NJ

---

In October 1924, a group of men assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the basement of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, U.S.A., forming a club “to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings, and to promote sociability and good fellowship among its members.” The group took the name “Toastmasters.” We are a local chapter of Toastmasters International.

Today, Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests. Toastmasters International includes more than 200,000 men and women in more than 9,300 clubs in more than 70 countries.

Experienced professionals and beginning speakers alike can benefit from our practical, face-to-face learning program. Whether you're speaking to the board of directors, your customers, your co-workers or your kids, Toastmasters can help you do it better. You'll learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with people who are there for the same reason you are—to become better communicators.

At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet once a week for about an hour. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and offering constructive evaluation.

Our usual meeting location is The Church of Our Savior in Haddonfield NJ, located at the corner of Wayne Avenue and Wood Lane.

The street address is 204 Wayne Avenue, Haddonfield NJ 08033.

Please do not park on the side of Wood Lane that the Church is on as parking is not allowed, even though it is not marked.

Occasionally, we must meet at an alternative location due to schedule conflicts. Please check the Club Calendar page for any change of meeting location.

We meet the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 pm for our regular club meetings. The second Tuesday of each month (September through May) we meet at 7:00 pm for a Marathon Meeting. Occasionally, we must change our meeting date due to scheduling conflicts. Please check the Club Calendar page for those rare meeting date changes.

Guest and returning members are welcome to attend any meeting! We hope to see you there!
