Akshat Sapra - President

"Hello All! I joined this club in the year 2023 with the goal to get over my fear of speaking in front of a huge attendance. When I joined this club, I had not known that I would be getting so much more in return. Not only have I grown professionally within the year of joining this club, my relationships with all the people that I call friends and family have improved a lot. On the plus side, I have had the fortune to meet and grow along with remarkable people from all walks of life at the club.

This club has given me so much more than I could have asked for. I hope you join this club and take your life to the unimaginable heights. 

Thanks! Akshat"

“Hello hello! I have been a club member since 2021 and I really appreciate everything the Rhetoracles has brought to my life, it’s all about positivity. I gained confidence in my public speaking and overcame my fear and anxiety; I have made friends here and it’s always inspiring to be surrounded by a group of people with high energy and supportiveness. Overall, I feel joining and putting time and effort into the Rhetoracles club is hugely rewarding.”

Hello! I joined this club in March 2024.

Carol L- VP Public Relations

“Hello! I joined this fantastic club in February 2018, and the supportive and positive atmosphere has been invaluable. As a community leader, I’ve honed my skills in influencing others. Thanks to Toastmasters, I’ve learned to use effective body language and vocal variety to communicate persuasively. Additionally, I’ve made many deep-thinking and interesting friends who add so much sunshine to my life.” 😊

Dottie Delaney - Secretary & Treasurer

“I joined Rhetoracles in 1996 as I was preparing for the position of President of my Secretarial Association and knew I'd have to get those butterflies in my stomach to "fly in formation" in order for me to speak at my Association's monthly meetings without fainting! I have held many Officer positions in Rhetoracles and continue to learn and laugh at our Tuesday evening meetings! I have been District 2 Secretary and enjoy attending the District's Spring and Fall Conferences. I'm retired and enjoy traveling and crafts. I have formed many strong friendships with fellow club members over the years and continue to encourage new members.”

Marlene Meyer - Sergeant at Arms

"I joined this club in 2013. Unlike most people, I’m not afraid to get up in front of a group to speak. I enjoy our meetings; my cheeks often hurt from laughing so hard. On the serious side, Rhetoracles has helped me to speak with confidence, present information succinctly, and add humor to my speeches. 

I enjoy this group and I think you will, too. Come check us out!"
