The Mystery of Love - 23rd June 2009

Fellow Toastmasters,
Last meeting of the year, but first meeting in a new venue – What a wonderful meeting we had on Tuesday night, with Protea scoring two more goals in the same meeting - and thereby achieving the prestigious “President’s Distinguished Club” Status in 2008/9.

Shirley got the Table Topics off to a fun start as we introduced various artists and writers to the club.
Sigal inspired us to work better in teams, and Win gave us ideas on how to Relax.
Derek – thanks for trying to demystify the “mystery of Love” at the meeting and in so doing adding another goal to the Club – Dries you missed this one !!!

Abisha wrapped up the speaking by encouraging us to be motivators, and in doing so achieved his ALB. This goal also makes him eligible for the Tripple Crown Award! Well done!

The same meeting also marked the closure of the membership building contest. Special thanks to Derek, Chris, Win, Ramona and myself for bringing visitors during the campaign. The next membership building campaign will kick off on 1 August 2009.

Congratulations Chris, for attaining the Competence Communication award and for being chosen the best Table topics Speaker at the meeting.

The Official induction of the incoming Club Officers will be done at the next meeting and your attendance will mean a lot for them.

Compiled by Ashisha and Colin

A Sense of Excellence

Hi Toastmasters.

Please remember that we have a new venue - Stirling Conference and Events - 13 Beresford Road - off Old Transkei Road.

There will be a car guard to watch your vehicles, and there is street lighting.

The bar and refreshments will now be run by Stirling Conference & Events, and will now also include coffee.

This next meeting is very special as both Abisha and Derek will be completing their next educational goals. Not only is this a win for them as toastmasters, it is also a win for us as a club, as we then achieve President's Distinguished Club status - the highest achievement in Toast Masters!

You are invited and encouraged to come and be part of this exciting event.

See you at 18:00 on Tuesday.

Remember too, the meeting on the 7th July which is the induction of new officers and our multi-lingualism evening where we celebrate the diversity of our club.

We have an exciting evening lined up and will be introducing the new District Theme and our own Club theme for the next Toastmasters year.

Have a laughter & fun filled day!

Colin Davies
