Dear fellow toastmasters,
A. Breakthrough with One-for-One
B. Believe...and have Confidence
C. Not to be missed...JB Semi-annual Convention
D. New additions to our family
E. District Calendar
A. Breakthrough with One-for-One
What a fantastic celebration of Founder's Day throughout the month of October in
our District. The Toastmasters' spirit of sharing is alive! With each member
inviting a friend to witness a toastmasters meeting or event, YOU have made a
difference. Many of our guests have even signed up as members!
Keep the One-for-One spirit alive for the rest of the term! Tell-A-Friend about
toastmasters everytime before we attend our club meetings...because they deserve
to know what Toastmasters can do for them.
B. Believe...and have Confidence
How many time have we lose confidence in doing a project speech? We can become
more confident by preparing and practicing our speeches at toastmasters. When
we develop our communication skills by completing the ten basic speeches, our
confidence enables us to perform our best.
As much as 95% of the people around us don't believe in themselves as they
should. Most people feel that they are not good enough. The truth is that
there is enormous potential within us to do much more.
Believe in yourself, and help your members believe in themselves. Push
yourselves a little more outside your comfort zone. Help a friend succeed.
Take a moment to ponder. Start believing in yourself today. And experience the
breakthrough...in your life!
C. Not to be missed...JB Semi-annual Convention
It is time for us to meet...at the JB Semi-Annual Convention from 17-19 November
2000. Let's celebrate our No.1 District achievements with the Hall of Fame
Presentation. We will also be giving out the earlybird CTM/ATM as well as the
Membership awards (current term 2000-2001) at the District Council Meeting on 17
November 2000. Not to be missed will be the District Humorous and Evaluation
Speech Contests.
District Conventions are excellent for fun, fellowship and learning.
Come for a breakthrough experience at Johor Bahru!
