Twin City August Club News Letter
By RENE ROY
July has been a very exciting
month for all of us. Five of our club officers
attended the TLI, where we had the opportunity to receive great training from
seasoned members of the district, and also had the opportunity to meet other club
officers in other clubs to get new ideas. As I said before, I am really excited
about the club because I believe our club is friendly, excited, and that we have
committed officers who want to accomplish great things in the club. When our
members succeed we all succeed.
Get the word out by acting
excited, and by telling others what Toastmasters has done for you.
Our club officers are very aware
that the district measures our club performance by how well we meet our club goals.
Meeting our club goals is an easy thing to do when everyone participates in the
Toastmaster program. The club officers can only do so much in performing their
duties, but as club all members we all part of a team and we all can win. I know that we can soar to new heights by
actively participating in the Toastmaster program. The program has worked since
1926 and it will continue to work into the next century when members learn by doing.
I have heard time and time again from others that, “I would not have gotten
where I am today without the help and support of Toastmasters and their excellent
training program.” We the members are the ones who make the program work.
Vielka our VPE (Vice President of
Education) is doing an excellent job at maintaining the club web site which is
there for a purpose. The purpose is to
keep our active members informed about what is going on in the club like where
our next meeting will be held, where we can get helpful downloads, and most
importantly a place where we can sign up for different club roles and our speeches.
Oh yes, if you plan to attend and take part in a club role please sign up on the
website. Please remove your name from a club role if some reason or another after
signing you cannot attend. This is the right thing to do because someone else may
want give a speech and/or take on a club role for credit. Not only that, it
allows the club meetings run more smoothly where we can get out on time.
Let me congratulate Vielka too,
for getting her ACB (Advanced Communicator Bronze) and Tyke Crowley and Rachelle Lappinen for
completing their “Ice Breaker” speech.
One step at a time is all it
takes to accomplish your goals. Stretch a little by doing one speech a month in
one of your communication manuals. The CC (competent Communicator Manual) and the
ACB (the advanced communicator bronze manual) and the CL (Competent Leader
Manual) could be completed in ten months or sooner. This is really a fun and
easy goal to accomplish. When you win,
we all win as a club. When I joined Toastmasters I had no intention of being a
Distinguished Toastmaster, it just happened by doing everything that I had to
do to get there. One of my goals for this year is to get the Triple Crown by
completing three competent communicator manuals in a row in one year. Aim high
with your goals, more than you expect to achieve and you will definitely be
amazed in what you can do.
