About
Racquenteurs Toastmasters
Racquenteurs Toastmasters is a non-profit,
business-casual public speaking club located in Vancouver, British
Columbia; and a part of Toastmasters International
(District #21, Club #9740).
We're a great group of friendly people
who have come together at one time or another to face our public
speaking fears and improve our overall communication skills. Our
membership is very diverse, with individuals of all age, background
and experience. The common thread among all of us is that we want
to improve and challenge ourselves, and do so in an open, honest,
friendly environment. Racquenteurs allows us this opportunity to
develop our skills, develop lasting friendships and achieve personal
growth.
We have an excellent meeting space, in a boardroom
at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club (Fir
and 16th). The space is elegant, well lit and suits the Toastmasters
public speaking environment nicely. There is also a comfortable
lounge next to the boardroom where members and guests can adjourn
after the meeting for more informal socializing.
Racquenteurs Mission Statement
The mission of our club is to provide a mutually
supportive and positive learning environment, in which every member
has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills,
which in turns fosters self-confidence and personal growth. A commitment
to excellence in a professional setting is the primary focus of
our club.
A Few Words From
Our Members
"Racquenteurs Toastmasters
has given me a new voice - one which is much more confident and
capable. I have a completely new perspective now on public speaking
and no longer fear standing up to deliver a speech in front of a
group. Racquenteurs provided me with the avenue I needed to overcome
my speaking fears and attain my personal goals."

"Racquenteurs offers the
perfect balance of professionalism, support and lots of laughs.
I look forward to Monday nights....to share experiences, to grow,
to spend time with my friends."

"Toastmasters had an immediate
impact on my business meetings. Also, by providing an educational
and fun setting, it continues to help me refine my skills in group
leadership, written memos, and one-one interviews."
