District 30 Toastmasters

To learn more or find a local club, visit https://www.toastmasters.org/find-a-club or email prm@d30toastmasters.org. Guests are welcome. District 30 Toastmasters is a dynamic professional development community serving individuals and organizations across northern Illinois through a network of local clubs that meet both in person and online. As part of the global Toastmasters International organization, District 30 empowers people to build confidence, strengthen communication, and develop leadership skills in a supportive, hands-on environment. Members don’t just study communication and leadership concepts—they actively practice them through structured meetings, real-time feedback, and leadership opportunities that mirror real-world challenges. From first-time speakers finding their voice to experienced professionals refining their executive presence, District 30 provides a space where growth is both intentional and measurable. Beyond individual development, District 30 fosters strong community connections. Its clubs create opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and relationship-building across communities, industries, and backgrounds. District-wide events, including training sessions, speech contests, and the annual conference, bring members together to exchange ideas, celebrate achievements, and expand their impact. District 30 also strengthens the broader community by equipping individuals with skills that translate directly into the workplace and civic life. Members become more effective leaders, clearer communicators, and more engaged contributors within their organizations and communities. At its core, District 30 Toastmasters is about transformation—helping individuals move from hesitation to confidence, from ideas to action, and from potential to purposeful leadership. Membership is open to adults 18 and older. Youth Leadership programs are periodically offered for those under 18.

Phase Three Brewing - Lake Zurich

Summer is officially in full swing, and we're kicking it off the right way. Join us Saturday, June 27th from 12 to 5pm for the very first Midsummer Artisan Market at Phase Three Brewing in Lake Zurich!
This is a sip-and-shop experience done right. We're talking original artwork, handmade jewelry, one-of-a-kind apparel, self care finds, tarot readings, human-grade treats, and so much more from a curated lineup of talented local artists and makers. Over 30 artists are planned for this event.
Whether you're hunting for the perfect gift, shopping for yourself (no judgment, highly encouraged), or just looking for a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, you're going to find something you love.
Phase Three's kitchen will be serving up their rotating menu, the beer is cold, and the vibe is relaxed. The market is both indoor and outdoor, free to attend, family friendly, and parking is easy and free in the area.
A quick note: we moved what was originally planned as a Spring Market into the summer, and honestly it feels right at home. We may also be adding some artists outside, so the footprint could grow. Either way, it's going to be a great afternoon.
Come out, explore, sip something delicious, and support the makers. We'll see you June 27th at Phase Three Brewing, 932 Donata Ct., Lake Zurich, IL.
