Our Meetings

We meet weekly on Sundays at a nicely appointed media room at the Fair Oaks Apartment complex.

bulletSunday, 11:30am-1:00pm
bulletFair Oaks Apartments
Media Room (Upstairs in the Clubhouse)
655 S. Fair Oaks Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA 94086 [map]

Our meetings are well run: structured yet inviting. We strive for a warm and friendly atmosphere, which leads to a more non-intimidating, comfortable setting for skill development. We enjoy ourselves while we improve our communication skills.

Guests are always welcome! We almost always have guests on any given week. We'll provide you with a guest packet describing the proceedings, and will give you a chance to speak (only if you wish).

We take pride in starting and ending our meetings on time. If you are planning to attend as a guest, we request you to arrive at least 5 minutes before the meeting starts at 11:30AM. That gives us enough time to sign you in and provide you with a guest badge

Our meetings usually consist of the following sections:

bullet3-4 Prepared Speeches
(usually 5-7 minutes)
bulletImpromptu Speeches
(short 1-2 minute speeches given without advance notice)
bulletEvaluations of Prepared Speeches
(because you can't improve unless you get feedback!)
bulletEducational Topics
(e.g. how to prepare a speech, how to write an opening, closing)

We sometimes have special meeting formats, such as debates and speech contests.

Still wondering? You're not alone. All of us at Fair Oaks Toastmasters started out just like you, wondering what Toastmasters is like. Fear of speaking is almost universal, but can be overcome.

Come visit us and see!
