MESSAGE FROM JIM
MARTIN: CLUB PRESIDENT
Like a real estate agent looking for the best location, the best way to ease nervousness is practice, practice, and more practice!
Rehearse
in front of a mirror, visualize the audience, or if your lucky, like I am practice before a bed full of stuffed animals.
This way you can practice some excellent eye contact.
After you have practiced, make an outline you’re comfortable with, that won't signal to the
audience that you’re using notes this can be anything from a written speech to key words. Practice again.
When you are about to give a speech, check out where
you are giving the presentation and what the room is like. Let the energy of your nerves work for you. This
will help animate your presentation. We don't kill Butterflies,, we let them fly to help you.

Hi Everyone,
I would like to invite members of our community to
come to our Toastmasters Meetings and see how our club can help Members hone their listening, Speaking and Leadership Skills.

Message from Treasurer: John
Phelps
I encourage all of
our members to try to present Manual speeches as much as possible! We will need
your help in achieving our Clubs' goals. By this, I mean striving towards Distinguished Club status. How do we do this?
In part by achieving your’ Advancement Awards, i.e.; CC, AC, CL, AL, DTM, etc.
Another part is to increase our membership. We all can be ambassadors to a degree. Talk it up! Tell all your friends
and associates about the benefits of Toastmasters, and especially, our club!
Please do not hesitate to call on any of the club officers for guidance in achieving your educational awards goals.
By all means, please do bring visitors, if you can. I hope to see you all at our upcoming meetings.
Best Wishes, John Phelps

Dear Fellow Toastmasters,
It has been said that the number one fear in life, is not the fear of death or taxes, but public
speaking! I recently saw a television program, where a renown actor, elaborated on that very subject. He could easily learn
his lines and play before the camera, but ask him to be a guest speaker? Oh, my!
Do you remember the reason why you joined Toastmasters in the first place? For me, it was because
my music director, encouraged me to become a better singer. Who would of guessed it? Becoming
a Toastmaster, improved my singing, and public speaking skills; at the same time! How about you? I suspect that a number of
our members were invited to join by another Toastmaster. Now it is your turn to do the same., and win some individual and/or
club recognition awards at the same time.
We all should be inviting people to join, and what a better way to try it, by participating
in a contest. Who do you know, that may be interested? Invite them to join our club, who knows, you might win an award!.
Thank you all.
