Snohomish City Toastmasters Achieves President’s Distinguished Club Status!

Presidents Distinguished is the highest honor a Toastmasters club can earn. Fewer than 10 percent of the 13,000 clubs worldwide reach this status each year. 

The Distinguished Club Program (DCP) is an annual recognition program for clubs. This distinction signifies that this club offers a higher-quality club experience for all of its members. Its meetings are successful, productive, structured, and enthusiastic. This club reinforces the supportive, educational atmosphere for each member at every meeting.

Come see how we can help you improve your communication and leadership skills during our club meeting held 7:30 a.m.-8:45 a.m., every Friday at the Rock City Café Banquet Room in Snohomish!

On June 14, join us for a special presentation by the award-winning speaker David! He recently won the Toastmasters District 2 International Speech Contest. David will advance to the Semifinals in Ohio, this autumn. Come hear his winning inspirational speech “Live Forever.”

Same Location, Different Name!

The Snohomish City Toastmasters club now meets in the banquet room of the Rock City Café, previously known as the Java Inn Coffee Roasters. It is the same location, but with a new name. Rock City Café roasts its own coffee locally. Thank you to the new owners for hosting our meeting location.

Jay's Update Notice to Members

Greetings Fellow Club Members!  As your VP for Public Relations, one of my jobs is to keep open the lines of communication. That's why I've created our club's Official Website, Club Capture Page, and Meet Up Social/Professional networking site.  Of course we still have our Facebook page too - be sure to like us!

If you have an interest in taking part of the Public Relations role - or any role for that matter, I encourage you to contact me.  The truth is, I don't know what I'm doing either!  We can learn together!

This is my first blog post, so I'd really appreciate it if you let me know you saw it!
