Professional Women Toastmasters

Professional Women Toastmasters is proud to support the launch of Speakers of the Lake Toastmasters! 🎤✨

Our members recently helped support three successful demonstration meetings, and Speakers of the Lake is now very close to officially chartering as a new Toastmasters club.

It’s been exciting to help welcome prospective members, model meeting roles, and share the confidence, leadership, communication, and community that Toastmasters is all about.

Speakers of the Lake meets every Thursday from 6:20 PM–8:00 PM at Prospero, 126 N. Main St., Lake Elsinore, CA 92530.

They are just a few members away from reaching their charter goal, so if you’ve ever wanted to become a stronger speaker, communicator, or leader, this is a great time to visit and be part of something new.

Come as a guest, meet the group, and see what Toastmasters is all about. 💙💛

✨ Public speaking… but make it FUN! 🎤💜

Monday’s Professional Women Toastmasters Open House was the perfect reminder that our meetings are about so much more than just giving speeches!

We welcomed several wonderful guests, gave away some amazing raffle prizes, celebrated our club’s incredible achievements from the District 12 Awards Ceremony, and spent plenty of time laughing, connecting, and cheering each other on. 🏆🎉

Our Table Topics Master, Angela Little, brought an incredibly creative session that had everyone laughing, thinking on their feet — and even SINGING! 🎶😂 You truly never know what might happen during Table Topics!

Our Word of the Day was Serendipitous, which felt pretty fitting for such a joyful meeting. ✨

We also heard an amazing speech from Holli Hiddeson that was so powerful it earned a standing ovation! 👏💜

And we were honored to have District 12 Club Growth Director Kinya Hall join us and experience firsthand what makes Professional Women Toastmasters so special.

Yes, we practice public speaking. Yes, we grow as communicators and leaders. But we also laugh, celebrate, connect, play, encourage one another, and genuinely have a GREAT time together!

If you think Toastmasters is just standing behind a podium giving speeches… come to one of our meetings and let us change your mind. 😉🎤✨
