West Austin II Toastmasters Club meets at Cesar Chavez and I-35 at the IHOP.
Wake Up With West Austin II
"Second to None"
We meet every Thursday morning 7:00-8:15 CDT in person at the IHOP restaurant, 707 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX 78701
(What's that you say? That IHOP isn't in West Austin? You're right! Our former location in West Austin closed after 30 years of meeting there. Now, the "West" in "West Austin II," refers to "west of I-35" 
. Seriously, our club was chartered in 1986. We honor the name.)
We love guests! Come visit us
We come together to improve our public speaking, presentation, and leadership skills by, as our founder, Ralph Smedley, said, “learning through moments of enjoyment.”
In this video, Scott, our 2024-2025 club president, discusses how Toastmasters has helped him overcome his fear of public speaking.
Please email Dennis Hall at dennisshall@gmail.com, or call/text him at 512-905-5600 for more information.
Club President Scott congratulates West Austin II member Amy, who achieved first place in the District 55 International Speech Contest and second place in the Table Topics contest.
