Fw: Toastmasters June 1

 

SPEAKEASY NEWS
Online Newsletter of Toastmasters Club 1789
 
We have elected our new list of officers for the coming year, which begins on July 1.  They are:
President:  Gene Welch
Vice-President Education:  Leah Meyer
Vice-President Membership:  Kristy Wisneski
Vice-President Public Relations:  Cori Judge
Secretary-Treasurer:  Dorothy Woodard
Sergeant-at-Arms:  Tony Osman
 
President Gene will be sending the list to International HQ shortly.  The membership thanks the above for their service to the club and their fellow members.  Leadership, of course, is the other half of the Toastmaster program.  Congratulations to us all.
 
Our summer picnic date is almost set.  Mark Wednesday, June 22, on your calendars.  All that's needed is paying to reserve the covered area at Wolfe Park, which is where we were last year.  I will be charging the $55 fee to my credit card on Tuesday, and we can discuss the possible need to collect a small donation from attendees and a partial contribution of our club treasury.  We lucked out on the weather last year, and I'm sure we can do it again.  If not, we always have our regular room as our backup location, if needed.
 
We need only 5 new members by June 30 for us to win Distinguished Club status.  Please keep on the lookout for people who need us, and they are legion.  Toastmasters has often been called "the world's best-kept secret."  When I ask friends and acquaintances if they've heard of Toastmasters, more than a few say they haven't.  So that creates a double problem:  A lot of people who need us don't even know we exist.  That just isn't right.  Let's spread the word, and let's remember that they can always say no, with no harm done.  I'm doing the same.
 
In addition to the regular schedule, I'm attaching the announcement of the July 16 TM Education and Leadership Institute (TELI), which is calling for volunteer presenters. All members are eligible to participate.
 
This week as usual, get changes to me by 1:00 Wednesday.  Leah is presently incommunicado.  See you at the meeting.
