The Smedley Award time is upon us. This is when every club that gains 5 or more new members receives a ribbon and a 10% off coupon for resources from Toastmasters International.

As an additional incentive, District 69 is offering a set of 10 Icebreaker and CC ribbons to every club that gains 5 new members during August and September.

These ribbons are a personal touch for members who have presented their Icebreaker speech- the most challenging!!- and when they have achieved their CC. Ribbons are useful as bookmarks and members love to be acknowledged and recognised for their achievements!

Work to sign up 5 or more new members in August and September!
