Toastmasters:

Is not what most people think.  Filmmaker Keva Rosenfeld summed it up so eloquently in his Day to Day piece on NPR this November, "Fun? I expected a room full of blowhards and social misfits.  But instead it was an affable group of about 20.  All ages.  Highly self-motivated.  Very punctual.  Not like anyone I know."

Our Meeting:

We meet every Tuesday at noon at 9403-B SW Nimbus Ave., Beaverton, Oregon.  We cram a lot into our 1 hour time slot.  We are all ages, have lots of fun, are amazingly affable, and face the fear of public speaking head on!

Our Mission:

The mission of the Timber Talkers, Toastmasters Club #4421, is to provide a fun mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop and practice communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.

While you are here:

• Check out what a typical meeting is like.

• Check out other local Toastmaster clubs in Portland and Tigard.  
• Be amazed at how inexpensive it is (20 years of Toastmasters vs. 1 2-day Dale Carnegie course). 
• Contact us with any questions, comments or feedback.
