Visiting for the First Time?
Visiting a club is an exciting first step in reaching your goals. There’s no need to feel pressure to participate at your first club meeting – you can simply observe if you wish. And since every club is unique, it’s OK to visit several clubs before you decide to join the right club for you. Have a great first meeting!
How Do I Join?
Joining is as easy as 1-2-3!
Step 1:
Visit the Toastmasters club

You may wish to visit more than once. Visits are free and you may return as often as you like.
It’s a good idea to call or email in advance to confirm a group’s meeting time and location.

Step 2:
At the meeting, ask the President or the vice president membership for a membership application and fill it out. New membership application can be found under the New Membership Application or on the Free downloads tabs.
Step 3:

Give your application and dues to the President or to the vice president membership at the club.
Once you are voted in by the existing membership, the club officer will send your application and fees to Toastmasters’ World Headquarters.
Your New Member Kit should arrive in the mail in about two weeks (kits outside of the U.S. may take longer).

It’s as easy as that!
Come and see what Simi Valley Toastmasters is up to in the next few months!

This can be a chance to finish that piece you started or work out a technique you’ve been meaning to try. One of our intrepid instructors will be on hand for supervision and guidance, although these are not teaching workshops.

As with all of our workshops, we require that students attending Open Forge sessions be at least 12 years old. A student who is not an adult (18 and older) will need to have a parent or guardian present at ALL times during the session. Thanks for thinking of safety first.

2024-07-27 16:00 - 20:00 | Adam’s Forge, 750 E. Easy Street, Simi Valley, CA 93065
Suggested skill level: Beginner and up
Not just a useful tool, but also the first step to all of your bladesmithing dreams, our Letter Opener is a Discovery workshop as well as a prerequisite for all of our blade workshops.
The Letter Opener workshop is perfect as either an introductory or a follow-up course, as it introduces techniques that are useful in a wide range of blacksmithing projects. You’ll learn how to work with slightly larger stock, and be introduced to the proper choice and use of tongs to hold the hot steel. You’ll use the vise and a twisting wrench for the handle, and practice tapering and turning scrolls as well. In forging the blade, you’ll learn about full-face and half-face hammer blows. Finally, you can apply a hot wax finish to protect your letter opener. Don’t be afraid if that sounds like a lot; we’ll be there every step of the way to make sure you master all the skills you need.

Rancho Simi Trail Blazers Hike: Mt. McCoy Trail
2024-06-30 09:00 - 11:00 | Donut Delite, 1464 Madera Rd # A, Simi Valley, 93065, United States
Moderate 3 miles RT with 675’ of elevation gain/loss.
We will hike up via a series of switchbacks to an isolated knoll in a 200-acre open space region at the western end of Simi Valley. At the summit (1,325′) there is a white cross, erected in 1941 and a 360-degree view including Sinaloa Lake, Wood Ranch, the Bard Reservoir, the Simi Hills, and the Santa Susana Mountains. We’ll return the way we came.
Hike Leader: Mike Kuhn
On the western end of Simi Valley, Mt. McCoy is known as the hill with the large cross at the top. From the top of Mt. McCoy, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views in every direction, including views of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Wood Ranch, Old Boney Mountain and the Channel Islands (weather permitting). Cut under the direction of the Rancho Simi Trail Blazers in 1997, the trail leading the top is 1.5 miles long and climbs 675 feet. It contains switchbacks surrounded by coastal sage scrub, chaparral and other vegetation. This is a mild hike and is great for all ages. From the top, there is a dirt track extending south toward the Presidential Library as well as a dirt trail extending north, down the mountain, to connect with Tierra Rejada Road. The Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District owns 200 acres surrounding Mt. McCoy.
Well behaved, leashed dogs are always welcome.
Note: Hike canceled on holidays, if it rains, or if there is a Red Flag Warning in place.
PREPAREDNESS: Bring 2-3 liters/quarts of water (or other suitable liquid) and lunch/snack. Wear appropriate footwear (preferably hiking boots) and be prepared for bright sunlight (sunglasses), heat (layers of clothing), and/or precipitation (rain gear). Hiking pole(s) and a camera might come in handy.
NOTE: At the beginning of each outing you will be required to read and sign a liability release form (a sign-in sheet).
DIRECTIONS TO THE STARTING POINT OF THE HIKE:
Take Hwy 118 to the Madera Road exit in Simi Valley.
Head south 1.4 miles on Madera Road to just before its intersection with Royal Avenue (there’s a traffic light at the intersection).
Turn left (east) into the strip mall parking lot in the northeast quadrant of the Madera Road/Royal Avenue intersection and park near the Donut Delite store.
Wait for the hiking leader(s).
NOTE: This will be the starting point of the hike because there is very little parking space at the Mt. McCoy Trail trailhead (and the trailhead is within a short walking distance of our starting point near Donut Delite).
DISCLAIMER:
The organizer(s) or leader(s) take no responsibility and will not be held responsible for any injuries or accidents that may occur during any Rancho Simi Trail Blazers Club (RSTB) hike/outing. These events can be inherently dangerous and accidents will happen.
By participating voluntarily you are taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being.
