It is really exciting but also unbelievable to think that we only have three and a half months left of this Toastmasters’ year in which to achieve the goals we set last July.  Then the year just seemed to stretch out ahead of us.  We must be having fun because the time is whipping past!

These next three months will really determine whether our District can achieve Distinguished status and we really need all hands on deck if we are going to do this!helpinghands

How can you help? 

  • Please renew your membership with your club/s this April and encourage your fellow Toastmasters to renew theirs.
  • Encourage friends and work colleagues to come to Toastmasters! Don’t let Toastmasters be a well kept secret.
  • Be an active member in your club. Make your meetings a fun, dynamic learning experience for all. If you believe your club could do something better- offer to make it happen.
  • Revisit your Communication and Leadership goals that you set yourself at the beginning of the Toastmasters year and shoot for the stars.
  • Rekindle your enthusiasm for Toastmasters – it’s where we grow – our confidence and, in turn, our potential.
  • Be courageous – take on the challenge of a Leadership role!  This, more than any experience in Toastmasters, is how we can learn and implement new skills!

All these challenges will support your goal of being a Distinguished Club.  In turn it will help our District be Distinguished.   The District team thanks you for your enthusiasm and commitment.
