Redding Evening Toastmasters Our club helps people become more confident public speakers

10/15/2026

At every meeting, in addition to Toastmasters' formal evaluation process, members write quick, encouraging notes for the speaker to take home. We also take fun votes at the end of the meeting for "best-of" in each speaking category.

A local club, such as ours in Redding, will strictly follow the formal Toastmasters process, but it also has plenty of latitude to add its own customs, which gives each club a real personality.

An early Saturday game of Pickleball for a fun social club gathering outside of our regular Toastmasters meeting. Thank you, Karen, for organizing this!

This example is part of the power of joining , where there is a variety of fun exercises for speaking in small bits, not just in prepared speeches.

Those chosen to speak during this "Table Topic" have up to 2 minutes to speak on a surprise topic.

The surprise question in this session was "What was your original goal in learning how to speak better and how has that goal changed over time?"

At the start of every meeting, before we get to the speech portion, every club member is encouraged to practice introducing themselves and to say a few words about their day or their week.

It's just a few seconds of an introduction that, through months of practice, builds growing confidence and poise. And we clap for you every time, as part of our own practice as listeners, to respond with dignity and class! Everyone loves this opening part of the evening.

I am currently the VP of Public Relations for the club, and my wife and I are both members and consider this a type of date night :)

We are so grateful for the real community and mutual respect we feel. Every meeting is full of laughter and sober respect as we share stories in the guise of practicing public speaking.

Good cheer and good times had by all! And speeches and toasts were made, of course.

With members and friends of the local Toastmasters Club 197, we turned our normal meeting time on May 21st, 2026 into a special celebration of 85 years of existence in the city of Redding, California.

We all felt an immense gratitude for all those members before our time who made it possible for us today to be part of such a warm, caring, and productive community of aspiring speakers.

We recently celebrated 85 years of continuous presence as a club in the city of Redding, California!

Jeffrey K. - VP of Membership;

Our local Toastmasters club is going strong after 85 years of continuous operation!

Founded in Redding a few short months before the start of World War II, this club has been a delight to so many who have wanted to learn how to have their voices heard and their stories shared, whether for work purposes or for special social occasions honoring others.

Come join us!
