1 of Your New Year’s Resolutions Should Be Deerbrook Park Toastmasters

Deerbrook Park Toastmasters has been your local Toastmasters International club for Bannockburn, Deerfield, Highland Park, Northbrook, Riverwoods and points beyond for over 40 years.

If you’re starting to think about New Year’s resolutions for 2025, maybe improving your communication and leadership skills is one that you’ve been meaning to focus on but just never got around to doing? A journey toward self-improvement begins with but a single step! Start off 2025 by visiting a Deerbrook Park’s meeting and seeing for yourself just how the Toastmasters might be that self-improvement opportunity you’ve been looking for!

Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches communication and leadership skills—and builds confidence--through a worldwide network of local clubs. Headquartered in Englewood, Colo., the organization's membership exceeds 270,000 in more than 14,000 clubs in 150 countries. Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped people from diverse backgrounds become more confident speakers, communicators, and leaders. How does this happen? Education is an important part of every Toastmaster’s journey, and it’s a critical aspect of all club meetings around the world. Participating in Toastmasters’ innovative Pathways education program allows members to gain the valuable practice and build the confidence needed to develop their speaking, listening and leadership skills. Participation is done in a safe and supportive club environment, which allows members to learn at their own pace in the Pathways curriculum that has helped thousands meet—and even exceed—their personal and professional expectations. And the cost? It’s minimal! For Deerbrook Park Toastmasters, monthly dues are $11.50 per month plus a one-time charge of $23 for educational materials.

Don’t let another year end with the regret that, “Yes, I should have put more time and effort into developing my confidence and building my skills as a communicator and leader.” Deerbrook Park meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 6:45 pm to 8:30 pm. Both meetings are by Zoom while the 1st meeting is also in-person at the Deerfield Public Library.
