Members of the White Rose Toastmasters present their topical speeches during their regular lunch meetings on the first, third and fifth Thursdays of each month. Each session lasts from noon until 1:15 p.m. Those attending do arrive 15 minutes early to fill their plates (with provided lunch) and greet each other in the second-floor meeting room at the York Office of Stambaugh Ness, 2600 Eastern Boulevard.

Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 15-20 people who meet bi-weekly to practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian.

There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.

Club officers include:

President: Wendy Risher Lunko
Vice President of Education: Lori Trimmer
Vice President of Membership: Jason Thompson
Vice President of Public Relations (Internet): Chris Coulson
Vice President of Public Relations (print media):Galen Kapp
Secretary: Diane Lamison
Sargent at Arms (room): Sennon Housman
Sargent at Arms (food): Lisa Godfrey
Treasurer: John Brown

Dues for the White Rose Toastmasters are $55 per quarter, which includes the cost of the lunches. Guests attend free of charge.
