Toastronix President's Distinguished
Six of the goals are educational award goals, one deals with officer training, two are membership growth, and the lat is dues renewal on time combined with officer lists getting submitted on time!
Below is our actual club report on the Toastmasters international website!
Education Awards
The education program is an important part of every Toastmaster's journey and is a critical aspect of every club meeting around the world. The Toastmasters Education Program is based on a proven curriculum that enables you to develop your communication and leadership skills one step at a time.
The education awards have been earned at a frantic pace to end the Toastmasters year! Hollis Cash, Vijay Tumpala, and Heidi Robnett all earned their Competent Communicator Awards. Congratulations! This of course earns you 2 free advanced manuals! You also earn a certificate and a pin to wear which our illustrious President will order for you to be awarded soon in the club!

District 50 Fall Conference
The District 50 Fall Conference will be heldNovemember 18 & 19th this year in Sherman Texas!! It is the final step of the fall contest journey for the 2016 year. It will contain two great contests; The Humorous Speech Contest and the Table Topics Speech Contest!!! It will be amazing to see the best of out district compete! We expect a member of Politically Incorrectly to be a representitve for our Club, Area, and Division!! So STEP UP and compete!
This year we have the new pricing model in effect, where one club payment covers everyone! Being an advanced club we have yet to determine how we are going to work this out as most of us are covered by another club! SO, that being said, please let the club officers know if you are not covered by another club and need to be so we can figure this out!
Remember meals are not covered at conference, nor is lodging! But we will get District 50 costing on these items! Watch this space for mor einfo as it becomes available!
Compentent Leadership Project 9 - Mentoring
So we all know what a pain in the arse Project 9 on the Compentent Leadership manual can be! However, a wise fellow Toastmaster told me a trick to Project 9...
Read it closely...Mentor a new or existing member through their first three projects. Well... we all just assume (at least I did) that this mean the first three project in the compentent Communicator Manual. But guess what! The Compentent Leadership Manual has "projects" as well!
Sure a Project in the CL manual has more steps in it than the CC manual... but new members are much easier to get them to do roles, than some of the teeth pulling that happens when trying to councel them for three speeches.
Not only that it does just say three projects... You can mix and match... just like in the thrift shop! Get them to do 5 roles and an Icebreaker! Three Projects done!
There’s an APP for that!

Practice Makes Perfect
To help you, we offer video recording of your speech to help you reach your goals as a fluent speaker. As any sports coach would tell you, with practice and rehearsal, you can get better. But with video you can see your opportunities to improve to be GREAT! Seeing yourself from the audience point-of-view will give you insight to improve posture, use of the stage, and any nervous habit you never knew you had. Just ask the VP of PR at the beginning of the meeting.
