You and Us

The Toastmasters International Core Four values --- integrity, dedication to excellence, service to the member and respect for the individual---are alive and well at the Crown of Laurel Toastmasters Club. They are well-mixed with a spirit of fun, fairness and friendliness. We value generosity of spirit, dedication to personal development and team spirit. Our club is a place to try out leadership approaches and speaking styles you may not have tried before.

We are multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and have diverse members from nearby Washington, D.C. as well as from South Korea and Nigeria. We value friendliness, willingness to help our fellow members take a step up, constructive suggestions for change and encouragement.

Although our learning is self-paced, we ask you to attend regularly. When you are given a learning assignment for a given meeting and discover you cannot keep that assignment, please contact another member to substitute for you.

If you are positively passionate about Parliamentary procedure or insist on a club run by formal rules and regulations, we politely suggest that you visit a different Toastmasters club. That is so not us. Our members learn more when they are having fun.

On the other hand, if you have a sense of fair play, go with the flow, laugh when we are funny and stick by your friends, check us out!
