Toastmasters International is the premiere organization that is dedicated to helping individuals develop speaking, listening, thinking, and leading skills. It boasts clubs in every state of the United States, as well as in several countries throughout the world.

Moscow, ID and Pullman, WA are home to three exceptional chartered clubs, as well as one other club that will be chartered soon. These clubs serve people throughout Latah, Benewah, and Clearwater Counties in Idaho, and Whitman County in Washington. This Area, known as Area D-1, is part of District 9, which includes areas of Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Northeastern Oregon.

The clubs in Area D-1 have many seasoned Toastmasters who are ready and willing to help new members improve their skills. At the same time, there are several less experienced Toastmasters who are readily identifiable by newcomers. Club meetings give members opportunities to sharpen impromptu speaking skills, polish prepared presentation skills, enhance evaluation skills, and practice organization skills. Furthermore, by serving as club or district officers, members can take their leadership skills to a new level. Most importantly, however, when members attend meetings regularly, they have a lot of FUN!

If you live in the area or are planning to move here, and would like to improve the most important skills you can have by being part of Toastmasters, you are welcome to visit any of the four clubs listed below:

Frank E. Balmer Toastmasters Club Number 95 Meets at Shermer's Restaurant Pullman, WA Mondays at 6:30 AM
