Breathe New Life into Your Club

"Thursday is the best day of the week.” With those eight words, the president of Seattle General Toastmasters club, in Washington state, closes our Thursday morning meetings. His unstated premise: These meetings make this day of the week special. 

Hyperbole? Sure. But it’s no exaggeration to say that Seattle General Toastmasters is a highly successful club. It has operated continually since its founding in 1945. Its roster usually hovers around 30 members and its meetings routinely draw 18 to 20 attendees. 

These high-energy meetings, which serve as a valuable tool for turning guests into members, are no accident. Rather, they’re the product of the seven strategies our club employs, some, or all, of which other clubs can profit from.
