President’s message:
When I decided to find
a
Toastmaster club, I was looking for a place to grow personal character traits
that I value. Just walking in the meeting for the first time began the process
of growing more courage. Speaking and participating in meeting duties grew
my confidence. Not a meeting passes without a hearty chuckle or more and I
grow my sense of humor. Everyone exercises kindness, always
finding the positive and carefully offering suggestions for improvement. I
consider it a service opportunity to assist another human being in growing
such splendid character traits. If all that isn't enough, add to this list of
benefits that I now count my fellow Watermeister members friends.
Watermeisters is an excellent place to grow more courage, confidence, humor, kindness,
service and make new friends!
You have my heartfelt
welcome, should you come to visit us, and I hope you do,
Sincerely,
Renee Banchiere Watermeisters' Club President

Toastmasters History
In October 1924, a group of men assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the basement of the YMCA in nearby Santa Ana,
California, forming a club "to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings,
and to promote sociability and good fellowship among its members." The group took the name "Toastmasters." Watermeisters is
proud to be located in Founder's District, and to help carry on Dr. Smedley's legacy.
Watermeisters History
Watermeisters first met in July 1992 in Room 101 of the Municipal Water District of Orange County, with 20 eager, prospective
members, and two Mentors. Today we meet "just around the corner" at the Orange County Sanitation District, and count
among our membership several former Division and Area Governors, and District officers!
This fall we will hold our humorous Speech Contest and evaluation contest.
Enjoy this little disclaimer from Founder's District!
