Club of the Month: Blue & Green Toastmasters

This Corporate Club of the Department of Environmental Protection Services has experienced remarkable growth and success. Last Year, under the leadership of  Rowena Garcia, the club grew by 13 members, a testament to her effective facilitation of a Speechcraft program. This achievement propelled the club to earn Select Distinguished status. Building on this momentum, they ahve already welcomed four new members this year. This club holds a special place in our District as it was the home club of the late District Director Raoul Yacinthe. In his memory, the club remains dedicated to excellence, and we honor his legacy each year with a District Leadership Award.

——— DISTRICT VISION ———
COMMUNITY • FUN • VALUE

One hundred years ago, Ralph Smedley created a public speaking program that has helped millions of Toastmasters become better communicators and leaders.

Today, we have a marketplace full of options for personal development as well as apps and AI promising outcomes based on algorithms and automation. And yet Toastmasters still stands alone as the most cost-effective and transformational option out there. No other program offers our brand of experiential learning and real-time feedback from a network of peers in a safe and supportive space. The value you get from Toastmasters is unparalleled. The sea change that you can experience in your life from Toastmasters is immeasurable. And the impact that you can have in the world as a result of Toastmasters is boundless.

On behalf of District 119, we hope you find community, fun and value from your experience in Toastmasters. Cheers to your journey and your successes.

Toastmasters empower individuals to become more effective communicators and leaders. A Toastmasters club is to provide a supportive and positive learning experience. Like a community and family, you as toastmasters can help one another to reach your communication and leadership goals. Bring your friends or colleagues into this community so they can reap the benefit, too.
In the past two decades as a Toastmaster, I made many great friendships and connections in this community. That is in addition to enhancing my communication and leadership skills. I am honored to be your Club Growth Director this year, and to serve this community to thrive.
