members sign up for meeting roles. Every week King tales the initiative to send out the meeting
planner sheet and sign people up for meeting roles. King is not shy in prodding people to sign up for
a role, and now almost everyone who attends a meeting has a pre-assigned role, and roles are
assigned before the meeting. King's organization, initiative, gentle prodding has made the meetings
run smoother since we come to the meeting knowing what to do, and who is doing it, and that our
meeting roles are covered.
Estella Louise Brame, American Red Cross, is an outstanding sergeant at arms, in addition to being
VPM of the Red Cross club. Her preparation for each meeting is excellent, and she has established a
gift contest for members who bring in visitors.

Every Toastmaster learns, early in his membership, that one of the fundamental purposes of
his training is to promote, for him, the technique of tactfully and gracefully receiving
criticism, and profiting thereby. The man who learns this great lesson builds into his
personality something of incalculable value to him, entirely apart from what it does for his
improvement in speech. Dr. Ralph Smedley, 1966, Personally Speaking
