Members take the stage to deliver speeches they’ve prepared in advance, based on specific projects in their learning paths. Each speech has a purpose, from storytelling to persuasive speaking, allowing the speaker to hone their skills in different areas.
This is where it gets exciting! Members and Guest like you are welcome sign up and deliver a short, unprepared speech on a surprise topic. It’s all about thinking on your feet and building confidence when speaking off-the-cuff.
The General Evaluator takes the stage and introduces the evaluators, who provide feedback on strengths and areas for improvement for the prepared speeches. This part of the meeting focuses on growth through feedback and positive reinforcement.
The functionaries share their reports from the Ah-Counter, Grammarian, and Timer, followed by the General Evaluator’s feedback on the evening. The meeting wraps up as the president closes the session, ensuring everyone leaves with something valuable.

The name “Mercury” was chosen for our club because of its deep connection to communication and eloquence, which are central to Toastmasters’ mission. In Roman mythology, Mercury is the messenger of the gods, known for his speed, eloquence, and ability to connect people—qualities that mirror the skills we strive to develop as speakers and leaders.
Guests are welcome to attend as many meetings as they want. We typically recommend joining our meetings 3-4 times before deciding if you’d like to become a member. This gives you ample opportunity to see if our club is a good fit for you.
We are primarily an English-speaking club, and our meetings are conducted in English. However, we welcome all and encourage you to participate in the language you’re most comfortable with.
