Upon becoming a member you'll receive from Toastmasters International a new member kit that includes:

• Competent Communication manual
• Competent Leadership manual
  
• A subscription to the monthly delivered 'Toastmaster' magazine
• plus several supportive booklets like Effective Evaluation, Gestures: Your Body Speaks and Your Speaking Voice.

Above all Toastmasters in a not-for-profit organisation.  All of our time is voluntary and we ask for fees to cover costs and that's it.
To be a member of Toastmasters International, there is a once only joining fee plus semi-annual fees.
 A small margin above the Toastmasters International amount is requested to cover membership materials, venue/facilities hire, and meeting refreshments. If you join between the months where semi-annual fees are payable you'll pay a pro-rata amount to cover up to the next semi-annual anniversary.

Summary on fees:
Its cheap.  There's a joining fee of $40 then its $11 a month.
