Menlo Park Toastmasters

Welcome to Menlo Park Toastmasters! We are a diverse group of locals all working together to improve our public speaking skills.

We believe the best way to improve your public speaking is to get up in front of people and speak - each meeting, everyone has an opportunity to speak in front of the entire club. Our meetings are relaxed and fun, but always educational. New members are paired with mentors to help develop their speaking skills.

Guests are always more than welcome to visit our club. Please contact president@menloparktm.org to find out more about the benefits of Toastmasters!
We meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM. Please try to arrive by 6:50 PM.
