Web Page Reminders 

Through FreeToastHost.org, your club can have a professional-looking Web site that adheres to TI’s branding guidelines.

A professional-looking Web site is important for publicizing your club and attracting new members. Toastmasters International has a free Web-hosting service, FreeToastHost.org, that your club can use to create, maintain and host its own Web site. In addition to hosting your site, FreeToastHost.org provides ­templates and step-by-step directions you can use to design and customize it. No experience in Web site design is necessary. Toastmasters International strongly recommends that you use FreeToastHost.org for your club’s Web site.

• the club name, meeting time and location, and a ­contact telephone number

• the mission of the club

• the features and benefits of Toastmasters club ­membership

• Distinguished Club Program goals and progress

• membership promotion ideas for the club’s members

• a calendar listing club and district events

• a date identifying the timeliness of the information

• a link to the Toastmasters International Web site

• a link to the district Web site (if available)

Club Web sites should not contain material that is not relevant to achieving the mission of the club. Clubs may only place on their Web sites information about candidates for club, district or International office who are members of that club.

The Web page may also include an online version of the club’s newsletter. It must carry the Toastmasters International trademark acknowledgement statement as published by World Headquarters. Toastmasters Inter­national – the trademark owner – reserves the right to determine how clubs use trademarks as part of domain names. While the vice president public relations or Webmaster designs and maintains the club Web page, the club president is the publisher and is responsible for its content.

Clubs may include on their Web pages the names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of club officers, the creator/maintainer of the page (the Webmaster), club support personnel and individual ­members after having received express written permission from each individual. Individual member information (such as member addresses, e-mail addresses or telephone numbers) may be placed on club Web sites only if it is placed in a password-protected area.
