DG's December Message - "1+1" THE HUMBLE & SIMPLE WAY!

Fellow Toastmasters,

Hello...how is life as a Toastmaster coming along ? Are you not having enough thrill and fun in your journey towards becoming a GREAT Individual ?

At times, we are shrouded by various challenges that require greater endurance from us to survive through and meet our personal expectations. I guess that is how we learn to stretch ourselves towards the optimum ability. I could personally sense those moments which recurs very often than not at my work as well as in Toastmasters.

Recently, when I was at the first ever TLI 2 for the current term in Div B, we received the surprise audience of our very own 1st VP DTM Dr John Lau. During the short moment he had with us, he took us on the historic journey of D51 which created a legacy as the No 1 District in the WORLD for 5 years in running. He threw a friendly challenge to the district if we could bring the GLORY back as the No 1 District. Well, he gave us the prescription as well which is "1+1" = infinity. Though it could just be a simple arithmetic, but the hidden message is for ALL OF US to RECRUIT at LEAST 1 new member while every CLUB in the District gives birth to another NEW CLUB. Though I was stunned for a moment, but figuring out patiently, this is certainly POSSIBLE and ACHIEVABLE . We should all do it for the sole purpose of bringing this Toastmasters Benefits to the reach of another INDIVIDUAL and if its a community, then leading to the birth of a CLUB.

As simple as that....1+1...We can strive to inject our humbleness in the most simplistic manner to reach out to others bearing in mind you are helping him/her to transform into a magical individual potentially to be equipped with the improved communication skills, leadership qualities, presentation style, unimaginable confidence level and etc...benefits are multi-fold and can be evidenced from your self-testimony!

This ONE YEAR term of ours allows us to create meaningful history in others' lives...just by us adhering to the "1+1". I am very inspired and charged up to walk that extra mile in fulfilling the formulae solely in the interest of bringing the 'GREAT' LIGHT to someone else' life. If I CAN DO IT, I'm sure each and everyone of you COULD DO IT!

Let us make the resolution to take this stride forward in bringing greater meaning of self-development to another soul's doorstep!

"1+1" in the most HUMBLE & SIMPLE way forward towards ACHIEVING GREATNESS TOGETHER!

Counting on EACH OTHER....TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!

RECRUIT AT LEAST AN INDIVIDUAL & EACH CLUB TO HELP CHARTER AT LEAST ANOTHER CLUB!

Countdown starts...

Thanking you in ANTICIPATION!

Message from District Governor

Fellow Teammates

 

Hello...how are you doing ?

 

WOW!....  time flies and we have finished a quarter of the term!

 

Month of September should have been a rather busy month with us visiting Area and Division Contests. I could still remember the days I was keen to participate in contests...truly a thrilling feeling. Its not about winning that matters BUT its about participating wholeheartedly and sharing valuable messages to a much focussed crowd. As the contests are almost over, its about time for you to consider signing up for the KL Semi Annual Convention if you have not done so. It will certainly be exciting to see 10 finalists on stage at the same time competing to be the District Champion!! Hurry!!!!! Sign-up before the price skyrockets up.

 

Semi-Annual Dues had been another area of focus as we need to ensure every member renews their dues. It is our ultimate responsibility to share the benefits, inspire the members while allaying any adverse concerns, if there are, in getting 100% renewals done on time. This is the responsibility of everyone from the member right upto the DG . Practice the humbleness in simplicity to reach out to the members! The deadline may have passed, but you can still renew your dues to continue enjoying the benefits of Toastmasters. Do so now and if you need assistance, pls contact the Area Governors, Division Governors or Senior D51 Officers. 

 

I am sure many of you would have witnessed the GREAT District Directory 2010/11 that had been compiled and coordinated under the leadership of our District Secretary, Parames. The Secretariat Team certainly deserves a great applaud from all of us for coining together the pieces of data and additional info, which now becomes very handy to us. As we always say, good things come in limited quantities, we are only able to supply 3 copies to each Club which we expect to be shared among the Excos/Members strictly for Toastmasters purposes only. Please respect and observe the data in strictest confidentiality.

 

The Amazing Benefits of Toastmasters had since made entry into some new organisations where we will soon be witnessing the birth of a few new Clubs in October - namely, Taylor's University TMC ( Div B ) , Monash University TMC ( Div G ) , USM Students TMC ( Div N ) and Gold Coin Larkin TMC ( Div A ). Join me in welcoming them onboard our family while we continue to strive to expand the network of clubs by seizing every opportunity/lead available. Tap on the support of LGM and the district team to provide instant information to the interested parties leading to a demo meeting. This would be the least we could do in bringing the magical transformation to others' lives. Alternatively, you can provide us the leads for follow-up while we shall reciprocate your efforts by getting you involved in the whole process of chartering and subsequent recognition. GO GO GO......Do OUR BEST to BRING TOASTMASTERS to every corner of the community.... 

 

Look out for the various campaigns that are being launched in keeping all our focus on track to ACHIEVE GREATNESS TOGETHER!

 

Join us at the KL Semi Annual Convention for a UNIQUE District 51 Celebration!!

 

Humbly yours

District 51 Division N Go Go Go!! Improvement, Innovation & Learning!!

Greeting fellow Division N Toastmasters,

We began the term with the Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TLI) club officer Training which provided club officers the necessary skills to carry out their duties. Thank you all who attended the TLI and our District TLI Team.

Next,we had a series of club level Humorous Speech and Evaluation contest. Followed by Area level and Division level contest and very soon we will have our Joint Installation Dinner (JID)on September 2010.

It is an honour for me to serve as Division N Governor 2010/2011 and i believe Area Governor from Area N1, N2, N3, N4 and Division council members will work together as a team for the success of Division N. We need your support as club president, exco's and members to support and work together for achieving greatness together.

I would like to wish you all the best and success always.

Best regards.
