Our Charter

Vici envisioned having a new club on the Island in the fall of 2002.  She had an initial sign-up list of 10 people.  Being an awesome delegator, Vici enlisted Lois to take on the task of organizing the club and volunteering to be the Club President & Club Mentor.  
 
Sponsors of our Club, Christine Hall, District 32 Governor and Suezy Proctor, District 32 Lt Gov Marketing, gave us a demo meeting in March of 2003.  We were immediately up and running.  Just 3 months later we had fulfilled our requirement of 20 members to charter in June 2003, as Toastmasters Club #2238 U Speak Easy. 

Mission Statement

The mission of a 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.
