Are you already a Toastmaster? Have you achieved your CTM (CC), but want to go further--to be the best speaker and leader you can be? Would you like the encouragement of like-minded peers to help you achieve your goals? If so A-Spiring Toastmasters, named after the clustered spires city of Frederick, MD, may be the club for you.
    A-Spiring Toastmasters is an advanced club chartered for the benefit of Toastmasters of Division D, District 18. We represent many professions, but we all share a desire to improve in communication and leadership skills. One of the ways we achieve this goal is by presenting speeches, and receiving critical, but supportive feedback. Members are all active in other Toastmaster clubs, and some belong to several clubs.

We encourage visitors to peruse our site and contact us for information.

***If you are not already a Toastmaster, consider first joining one of the other clubs in the district. See "Other Nearby Toastmaster Clubs" on the left.

    Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open a new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.

    Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
