SPEAKEASY NEWS

Online Newsletter of Toastmasters Club 1789

We had five guests last week, the most in a very long time.  Let's hope we impressed them enough to come again.

There's a lot of Toastmasters activity ahead, both inside and outside of our club.  Contests are due any week now, and in addition to the International Speech contest, the auxiliary contest will be Table Topics.  Whereas the speech contest requires contestants to have completed at least 6 manual speeches, the Table Topics contest is open to all members.  The Area 93 contests have not yet been scheduled, but we will have to have our club contest quite soon.  Will you be in it?  Good!

Another event is the District 6 Toastmasters Education and Leadership Institute (TELI) coming on Saturday, February 11.  There are 4 attachments regarding it, and I can tell you that attending a TELI is an experience you won't regret, especially this one.  Headlining the affair is Jana Barnhill, a former international president, who will conduct sessions before and after lunch.  You need not purchase the lunch in order to participate in any and all other sessions.  Have a look at the schedule and decide for yourself.

This week's Speakeasy schedule is also attached, and if anything needs changing, please let me know by 1:00 Wednesday, after which I run to the copy shop with the evening's agenda.

Remember to bring your Leadership manual to every meeting, so that you get proper credit toward the Competent Leader award.

Oops!  Change 2011 to 2012 on the schedule.  We should have seen it.
