The first Toastmasters club was formed October 22, 1924, in Santa
Ana, California, by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley and an assembled group of
men "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." In 1973, Toastmasters club membership
was opened to women.
