Can We Beat Last Year’s Effort?

Can We Beat Last Year’s Effort?

Each year in February and March Toastmasters International runs the Talk Up Toastmasters Membership Building Contest for all clubs. Last year in our District, only four clubs achieved this award. With the word getting out about just how good Toastmasters really is, I challenge your club to achieve this award in 2013.

Here is an opportunity for us to beat that and for you to create a “Buzz” in your club as you “get back into the swing” of Toastmasters in 2013. This is the second of the membership building contests Toastmasters International hold and it commences Friday, February 1st.

Over the next 2 months I encourage you to select a team to promote your club and build your membership. This not only gives you the ribbon to proudly display on your club banner but you also receive a 10% discount on your next order from the Toastmasters store. Will your club purchase advanced manuals, member record sheets, The Successful Club Series of manuals or another long desired product your club needs??

As always, your District Officers from your Area Governor to the District Trio are ever willing to help. If you need help, we are only a phone call or email away.

Talk Up Toastmasters Membership Building Contest begins next week.

Talk Up Toastmasters!
Program Dates: February 1 – March 31

Toastmasters love to talk, so take advantage of it. During the “Talk Up Toastmasters!” membership contest, you can encourage your members to invite guests to all your meetings during this period.

Add five new, dual or reinstated members to your roster between February 1 and March 31 to receive a special “Talk up Toastmasters!” ribbon to display on your club’s banner. Membership applications and payment for members who join between February 1 and March 31 must be received at World Headquarters or online no later than March 31. Each member’s join date as listed on the application must be in February or March. Transfer and charter members do not count for credit. In addition to the ribbon, qualifying clubs will also earn a special discount code for 10% off their next club order.

Kick 2013 off with 5 new members! Let’s make it a record number of clubs achieving in our District. Go for it!
