Today is the best day to become a better
version of you. Toastmasters is the vehicle to
take you there. Increase your self-confidence
when you give prepared speeches, participate
in Table Topics and fill meeting roles. Be open
to growth by learning everything you can to
improve your communication and leadership
roles. Toastmasters International website is
loaded with information. Take on a leadership
role in your club when the opportunity arises.
Take a risk by trying something outside your
comfort zone.

    Pat Johnson,DTM 2010-2011 Past
International President expressed it well, “if you
get all that you can get out of Toastmasters, you
won’t ever get out of Toastmasters.”

It’s Time to Hold a Book Review

    We aren’t talking about a New York Times
best seller, we are talking about Toastmasters
manuals. The Redmond Club held theirs a few
weeks ago. It’s easy.

    •	 Choose a date
    •	 Ask everyone to bring their manuals
    •	 Take a tally – determine how many

         speeches members need to give to earn
         an education award
    •	 Schedule time for members to
         complete their manuals
    •	 Celebrate those earning
         awards, it’s a big deal
    •	 Watch your club goals grow
    Those earning three education
or leadership awards will receive a
Triple Crown Award at Toastmasters
Leadership Institute on June 25th.
