The Secret?

Toastmasters Week is finally here and we’ve kicked it off with a short, fun, promotional video compliments of Eric Pace.

Do you remember playing tip as a child? Well a similar concept applies here so pass on the clip to your clubs and to your friends or co-workers, you might just attract a new member to your club.

nicky — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:21:22 +0000

And from Donna Pace, District 70 Toastmasters PRO, here is a selection of what members in District 70 have been doing.

There have been some great initiatives across the District The links below provide you with recent newspaper activity initiated by the clubs in Area 45. By combining a personal success story and some details about their Toastmaster week activities, the articles demonstrate a simple and effective means of promoting Toastmasters in the local community.
I would encourage you all to consider how you might be able to write similar articles for your club, area or division activities – even if to promote something as simple as a club meeting.

Library Display

We have a display in the Beenleigh library with photos of some members, the room where we meet and some magazines, ribbons etc. There are of course, contact details and where and when we meet.

The club has been doing this library display for a few years and so far we have gained a few members from it.
One member moved from Roma several years ago and was told there was no club close to where he was moving. Disappointed, he was visiting the Beenleigh library one day and saw the display. Now he is club secretary.

If we don’t get any immediate members I’m sure that the community will be more aware of Toastmasters as a result of the display.

Kilcoy Toastmasters got in a little early with the ‘Talk Up Toastmasters Week’ doing the following things in the past 2 weeks:

We attended the Australia Day Festival in Kilcoy and MC’d a section of the event, we also put a team in for the Kilcoy Challenge to get further coverage and we put toastmasters flyers on the windscreens of 60 cars.
Last Meeting 3rd Feb we promoted a ‘Bring a Friend Frenzy‘ night. We had 5 guests! 3 of which said they would definitely be back at the next meeting & 2 are thinking about it.

Both the Clubs here in Inverell would combine efforts to promote TM Week.

Demonstration Meeting

The Inverell Toastmasters Club will be conducting a Demonstration Meeting at the local Rotunda which is in the Park. This event will happen on Monday 25th Feb and will be followed by supper.

Soap Box

The Inverell Breakfast Club will be conducting a “Soap Box” at the Markets in the Park on Sunday 21st Feb. We decided to do it at the Markets to get maximum exposure for Toastmasters.
