Catherine’s Thoughts….
“We learn best in moments of
enjoyment” – Ralph C. Smedley,
founder of Toastmasters.
As we begin planning for our year-end
celebrations and transitioning to the
new Toastmasters year, take a moment
and reflect on all the wonderful people
you have met through Toastmasters this
year and how much enjoyment you
have experienced while learning along-
side your fellow Toastmasters.
The enthusiasm of Division B is
recognized throughout the District and
it is contagious! Take in all the
opportunities you can and have fun!
What goals will you and your club be
celebrating at the end of June?
As a Division, we are so close to
Distinguished, I can taste it – there are
currently 6 Distinguished clubs and we
are sure to get at least 4 more! Many of
our clubs just need 1 to 3 more
members or 1 to 3 more Educational
Achievements to become Distinguished.
Don’t give up, keep inviting guests out
to your club, complete those last few
speeches, celebrate every achievement,
keep up your enthusiasm and guests
will be sure to join!
