SHAPE International Toastmasters Club Established: 01 July 1992
  The Mission of the SHAPE International Toastmasters Club (#8953): The mission of any Toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.
At Club 8953 , our members have so many benefits to choose from. Whether it be communications excellence, leadership development, improving skills in English or to simply join us in a friendly international environment, SHAPE International Toastmasters Club has you covered.
 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. TMI is exploding in this new century as the undisputed world leader in public speaking training, with over 12,500 clubs and more than 250,000 members in 106 countries guarantees there will never be a place you go in which you cannot find a Toastmasters club to join. This proliferation is ensuring more people than ever will benefit from a Toastmasters communication and leadership education.
 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 excel in communcation and leadership. 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 and Leaders.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.
