Cosmopolitan Toastmasters
Somewhat Better Speaking, Listening, Thinking and Eating
A Porcine Club of Questionable Standing
Here are testimonials from two long-time members
I cut down on my swearing, I wrote intelligent speeches, I practiced, I showed up every time I was scheduled, I delivered with enthusiasm until I was not only accepted, but admired. I worked on my manual assignments until I became a beloved CTM. God Bless Cosmopolitan Toastmasters.

I worked like a pig on my CTM, and never wavered. I stood firm. Today, I am a respected Past President, a CTM...I am the Club Doyen...I am the Coral Committee Czar. Lesser "swine" secretly look up to me. God Bless Cosmopolitan Toastmasters and founder Ralph. C. Smedley. |
A Typical Testimonial: When I joined Cosmopolitan Toastmasters Club several years ago, I was a pathetic loser. People thought I was a jerk. I even joined the National Organization of Women so I could get a date. They said I was a wretched pig. I was such a lousy speaker, I couldn't lead a group in silient prayer. Then my parole officer told me about Cosmo-land. They were brutal, but honest about what a horrible communicator I was. They told me I had to work like a "pig" to even achieve mediocrity. I did what they told me, even with roadblocks like the ICTM (Incompetent Toastmasters) Council - which is in place to keep members from achieving their coveted CTM's.
A Typical Testimonial: When I joined Cosmopolitan Toastmasters Club many, many years ago, I was a Corporate Big Shot at a local thermostat company. I was on the fast track; I was popular, with oodles of self esteem. I even had to fight the "ladies" off. Then, someone suggested I join a Toastmasters Club. I visited about 13 local clubs, when I accidentally stumbled into Cosmo-land. It was the most auspicious Thursday of my life. I thought they liked me; they let me join. When I wrote interesting speeches, I was criticized, When I was grammarian, they laughed at me, When I entered speech contests, I lost. Nothing was handed to me. I knew I had to work. They made me sit next to my stock broker who said my cigar stinks. They tried to humiliate me, but I never gave up. Losers would have quit.
