Progress and Upcoming Events

Yesterday, our President and VP Education presented the club with Toastmasters Achievement Charts for the Competent Communication (CC) and Leadership (CL) tracks.

This is a great way for our members to map out their progress and be proud of their accomplishments. It also motivates each member to plan ahead by coming up with a tentative schedule to complete their CC and CL manuals.

If you are actively planning the completion of your CL, we have a number of events coming up. You can take part in organizing them and, by doing so, a credit will go towards your CL.

Below is a list of events and possible activities to take part in. If you are interested in chairing a project or in helping out, don’t hesitate to contact me for a list of vacant roles.

1. Open House – Our Open House will be held on September 7, 2013. It will be a potluck event for our members and guests. This is an amazing social event that also includes inspirational speeches from our members.

2. Club Contest – Our Club Contest (Humour and Table Topics) will be held on September 21, 2013. Let us know if you want to compete (if you haven’t already)!

3. Newsletters – You can serve as a club newsletter editor for one of four newsletters to come out on the following dates:

·         October 5, 2013

·         December 7, 2013

·         March 8, 2014

·         June 7, 2014

4. Befriending a guest – You can do so by welcoming a guest and discussing his/her goals and concerns. You want to also make yourself available to the guest outside of the club meeting to continue discussions and to encourage them to attend another meeting or join the club.

5. Speakers’ Bureau – If you have an organization or issue you’re passionate about, let us know. This is a great way to gain public speaking experience outside our club.
