About Us
At Wry Toastmasters, we are steeped in tradition. One of
the oldest Toastmasters clubs in the Northwest, we
consistently achieve.
Chartered in 1981 as Club number 4723, Area 65, Division F, District 2, Wry Toastmasters
has earned President Distinguished Toastmaster Club
status (the highest ranking possible) many years in a row.
Our members are talented leaders within our Club, Area and
Division.
Wry members are a diverse group. We thrive on learning about
each other and helping each other succeed. Largely comprised
of business professionals from the Eastside and Seattle
areas, we are the early birds getting an energetic jump to
start our day. You'll also find college students, artists,
teachers and counselors within our ranks. We've even hatched
a few professional speakers! New members generally check
out Toastmasters to tame their fear of public speaking.
Wry veterans will tell you there is more to be gained. Our
supportive environment breeds confidence and success.
Confidence comes as a result of evaluating and being
evaluated. Respect for time comes with practice using bright
red yellow and green timing lights. Polished speech, which
contains few 'uhs', 'ahs', and 'ums', develops because
you've learned to listen to yourself. Listening skills
improve by focusing on fellow members to help them identify
their strengths and progress. And Leadership skills develop
through the Toastmasters Leadership program.
