June 30 is the end of the Toastmaster year. We want all clubs to finish strong. Here is a checklist to guide you:
*Membership - To qualify for the Distinguished Club Program (DCP), your club must have 20 or more members or a net gain of 5 members. Be sure to send in all new members right away. Do you need to hold a guest day or other membership contest?
*Educational awards - They are indicators of how well your club is serving your members. Be sure to send them in in a timely manner.
*Officer list - Due at Toastmasters Headquarters by June 30. This is important for next year's DCP.
Your club may qualify for the new District recognition of a "More than More" club. The DCP gives credit for 2 CCs and another point for 2 more CCs; 1 AC and another point for 1 more AC; 1 leadership award plus another for 1 more leadership award; 4 new members plus another point for 4 more new members. We will be recognizing clubs who turn in more than what is credited for the DCP. For example, 5 or more CCs; 3 or more ACs, 3 or more leadership awards, 9 or more new members. Earn a banner ribbon for your club.
Cyndra Melville, DTM, District Governor
Enthusiasm is being
excited about what you are doing. In Toastmasters, we have a lot
to be excited about. We are working to help people improve
their lives! This is exciting! We not only help people
build their communication and leadership skills, we help them with
self confidence and self esteem. This helps people in all
aspects of their lives, business, family, friends, and other
organizations.
Enthusiasm is like laughter, you become enthusiastic because others around you are
enthusiastic. If you feel a little down one day, the enthusiasm
that you passed on to someone else will come back and make you feel
enthusiastic again. It is a never ending circle.
Let's all let our enthusiasm for Toastmasters shine.
Annette Rude, DTM, Lt. Governor Education and Training

Time to Finish Strong!
Rob Christeson, DTM, Lt. Governor Marketing (elect)
We’ve had a great year in 2008-2009, but it’s not over yet. I urge each of you to remember that this year is not over yet, and we can all kick-off another great year in 2009-2010 by finishing this year on a strong note!
First, we are half way through this season’s membership campaign, Beat the Clock. I’d like for you to consider your success so far, and see if there are efforts you can take now to finish strong! Start a membership contest now! There are a number of advantages to running a membership contest in your club during this campaign:
1. Increased involvement in your club
- More members means more diversity in speeches and evaluations
- Members running or helping with the contest can use the CL Manual for support and take credit for the appropriate project
- Additional speech ideas for your members (i.e. “What I learned from our membership contest” or “How to run a successful membership campaign”)
- More members can also mean less double duty for meeting roles
2. Clubs adding five new, dual or reinstated members during these two months receive a Beat the Clock ribbon from TI to display on the club’s banner. You will also earn a choice of one module from The Better Speaker Series, The Successful Club Series or The Leadership Excellence Series.
3. This will lead into your transition plan (see below) and allows you to finish your year as VP on a high note!
Second, your transition plan: Your club has likely had their elections, or should be having elections very soon. This means you’ll know then (if not already) who the next VP of Membership will be. Involving them in the membership contest discussed above can really help with the transition, and allow them to hit the ground running in July. Also, helping them get involved right now will also better prepare them for their Officer Training at TLI on June 6th. If you’ve had great success with your membership efforts this year, congratulations! Share those ideas and successes with your new VP. If you’ve struggled, or are struggling now, please feel free to contact me or your Area Governors for some ideas and support.
Lastly, Membership renewals: chase down those last two or three members that were on the fence about renewing. Remind them of the advantages of continued membership, and get them back on board!
I look forward to a great year serving the clubs in District 22, and working with you and your incoming officers to make 2009-2010 our best year yet!
