Club Officers Training- Division A (16th July 2011)

It is so typical of people to expect their organization or government to provide for everything they need. But how often do we ask ourselves what could we have done for them instead.  Only with a grateful attitude, would we be able to fully appreciate the things that we have been freely given.

On the 16th July 2011, the Division and Area Governors of District 80, Division A, organized a highly effective training programme for the newly elected officers.  Every attending officer was given a set of guidebook that was meticulously put together by the dedicated volunteers. The 46-pages thick guidebook contains essential information and articles that are important to every toastmaster.  Having gone through the entire guidebook, I have tagged several pages for quick reference in the future.  Kudos to the organizing committee. And when it comes to our turn to serve, we should all give our best to ensure this good practise never ceases.

Lets' recognise and express our sincere thanks to the following Toastmasters;

We had a rallying get-together after the event. We really do have a special team this term.  Action speaks louder than words... let us show our fellow toastmasters and our communities, what we could accomplish in a year's time, if we set our mind to it. Whole-heartedly.
