1. When are meetings held?
Every first and third thursdays of the month from 7.15 to 9 pm. Remember that this may not necessarily mean "every 15 days" in months with five thursdays. In that case there is a two week gap between the last meeting of a month and the first meeting of the following month.

2. Where are meetings held?
At Quintana 161, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (see location here).

3. Do I have to make any reservation, call or contact any member of the staff before I attend a meeting?
It is by no means necessary. Anyway, you can always contact our Vice President Public Relations if you have any doubts, questions or comments about our meetings.

4. Ok, I would like to attend a meeting. What should I do?
Just show up at Quintana 161 (ground or third floor) at 7.15 pm.

5. Do I need previous experience to attend a meeting or to become a member?
Not at all! In fact, it is by means of making progress along the Competent Communication Track and the Competent Leadership Track that you will acquire and develop your communication and leadership skills.

6. Do I need to be fluent in English to attend a meeting?
Fluency in English is recommended. Meetings are held only in English.

7. Is it a good idea to attend Toastmasters meetings to practice my English?
Yes, it is! However, you should bear in mind that practicing English is just a "by-product" of attending our meetings for the evident reason that they are held in English. Moreover, there are no teachers in Toastmasters and you will not be corrected on the spot if you make grammar mistakes. The grammarian will only point out some of the mistakes made during the whole meeting, at the very end of it. That's why your main aim should be to develop and boost your communication skills and not just to improve your language.

8. Is there an entrance fee?
Yes. Whenever you attend a meeting (as GUEST or MEMBER) you will be asked to pay an entrance fee of AR$20-. This money is used to pay for the rental of the room. Toastmasters is a non-profit organization.

9. Do I have to pay even if I don't attend a meeting?
Of course not. You will be asked to pay for the entrance fee only if you attend the meeting.

10. How much do I have to pay if I want to become a member?
If you want to become a member you will be asked to pay USD 36.- (thirty six United States Dollars - or the equivalent in Argentine Pesos) for the first time and every six months. This money is automatically sent to our Headquarters in the United States to pay for the manuals you will receive and the subscription to the International monthly magazine "Toastmaster". These materials will be delivered directly to your home address.

11. How many times may I attend Toastmasters meetings as a GUEST before becoming a member?
You may attend our meetings as a GUEST as many times as you like. However, bear in mind that GUESTS may participate ONLY in some parts of the meetings.

12. Can I attend any Toastmasters meeting around the world if I become a member here in Argentina?
Yes! Once you become a member of Toastmasters you may attend ANY Toastmasters meeting and deliver speeches anywhere around the world! In fact, here in Buenos Aires we regularly receive foreign members that enrich our meetings and share with us their experience in Toastmasters Clubs from abroad.
