Vapor Trails has benefited me in so many ways... I am more confident as a speaker, I have had the opportunity to improve my leadership skills and I have met many interesting people. The anxiety I used to feel when preparing to give a speech is now gone and I actually look forward to speaking in front of a group.

Toastmasters exists to help people become better, more confident speakers and leaders by practicing these skills in a positive, supportive atmosphere. The Toastmasters program is structured but informal. Toastmasters International provides a vast array of enrichment and training materials, from which members can select as they choose. Members learn both by practicing speaking and by watching and helping each other during weekly club meetings.

In addition, interested members can develop their skills even further by participating in Toastmasters speech contests, speaker training, leadership training, and mentoring activities outside the home club.

All members receive Toastmasters Magazine, a monthly publication with tips and techniques for improving speaking, presentation, leadership, and communication skills.

Toastmasters is a multinational organization with members in 60 countries that span the globe. Toastmasters International's business and services are administered by its world headquarters in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. It employs no paid promoters or instructors and has no salaried staff except for the Executive Director and World Headquarters staff who provide services to the clubs and Districts.

Vapor Trails Toastmasters is dedicated to the mission of Toastmasters by helping its members achieve their goals through supportive, friendly, and fun club meetings.
