Happy 25th Anniversary to us! 🎉💙

What an incredible celebration of 25 years of excellence, leadership, and lasting impact. It was a beautiful expression of the love our members have for this club and a testament to a legacy that has stood the test of time.

We were honored to welcome our keynote speaker, Josh Carter, who represented the Carter family as we celebrated the legacy of President Jimmy Carter, one of our charter members.

It was inspiring to hear our Charter President, Wyatt Ware, along with charter members Tynesha Green and Cynthia Rice, reflect on our humble beginnings and share how Toastmasters has transformed their lives.

Our Immediate Past President, Sherra Bell, DTM, shared how the challenges of COVID helped shape our club into the thriving community it is today.

As your President, I was honored to cast the vision for our future as we continue building on this remarkable legacy.

The next 25 years start now, and we’d love for you to be part of the journey!

📅 Join us on Wednesday, July 8, at our next meeting. Attend virtually or in person and discover why this club has been changing lives for 25 years.

We can’t wait to welcome you!

Fear shows up before the mic ever turns on. Before the camera lights up. Before you even say your name.

This week, we’re tackling something every speaker, leader, and professional experiences but rarely talks about out loud.

Controlling Your Fear
A modern conversation about confidence, visibility, and showing up even when nerves are present.

This is not about eliminating fear.
It’s about learning how to manage it, regulate it, and use it as fuel instead of letting it hold you back.

Whether you speak in meetings, on Zoom, on stage, or simply want to communicate with more confidence, this session is for you.

🗓 Next Meeting: February 12
⏰ Thursdays at Noon
📍 Online and In Person

Curious to learn more?

Want to practice controlling your fear in a supportive environment?

👉 Visit us this Thursday at noon and experience Toastmasters for yourself.

Guests are always welcome.

Remembering one of the most powerful and distinguished storytellers of our time: Toni Morrison.

Morrison's works often depict difficult circumstances and the dark side of humanity, but still convey integrity and redemption. The way she reveals the stories of individual lives conveys insight into, understanding of, and empathy for her characters.

She became the first African American woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize when she received the literature prize in 1993.

Our longtime CCTM member Dianne Bryant is known within the club as the kind of storyteller we all aspire to be. Last Tuesday she left the comfort and safety if our club to share a very relatable story about learning to appreciate our siblings at the Carapace monthly event…finding it also to be a very supportive environment too!

If you aspire to tell better stories while developing confidence as a presenter and leader with structured lessons and evaluation feedback, Toastmasters can help and Carter Center Toastmasters invites you to come see what we are about!

We are an almost 25 year old President’s Distinguished (highest status) club serving Carter Center employees and community members, of which President Carter was a charter member. Our meetings are in-person at The Carter Center and on Zoom every 2nd and 4th Thursday from 12-1pm.

DM for additional specifics so that we know to expect you and can help you have an enjoyable and anxiety-free first meeting experience.
