Front Range Toastmasters, I wanted to take a moment to update you with our club's goals for the next six-month term. During each six-month term, clubs strive for Distinguished Club recognition through Toastmasters International. Below is an outline of these goals and recognitions. GOAL RECOGNITION Achieve any 5 of 10 goals Distinguished Club Achieve any 7 of 10 goals Select Distinguished Club Achieve any 9 of 10 goals President's Distinguished Club As of July 01, 2010, we have entered into our second term, which is scheduled to end December 31, 2010. Last term, we achieved 8 out of 10 goals. We were very close to maintaining our President's Distinguished status. As a club, let's get back on track toward our President's Distinguished status! As of July 01, 2010, here is where our club stands: Member Accomplishment Term Goal Actual 1) CC's 2 1 2) Additional CCs 2 3) AC's 1 4) Additional AC's 1 5) CL, AL, or DTM 1 1 6) Additional CLs, ALs, or DTMs 1 7) New Members 4 8) Additional New Members 4 9) Officers Trained 4 10) Timely Membership Payments *Semi-annual due date CC = competent communicator; AC = advanced communicator; CL = competent leader; AL = advanced leader; DTM = Distinguished Toastmaster I will update the club monthly on the clubs progress toward meeting our 9 out of 10 goals. As of the start of the new term, I completed my Competent Communication manual and CJ Klingensmith completed his Competent Leadership manual. I know we have a handful of members who are within 3-4 speeches of completing their Competent Communication manuals, and we have one member of our club, Dirk Kittredge, who is one project away from accomplishing Distinguished Toastmaster status, which is the highest recognition a member may receive through Toastmasters International! We are off to a great start toward attaining our President's Distinguished Club status. In order to accurately track our progress towards being a President's Distinguished Club, I need to know where you stand and what your goals are for this term. Please email me the following information: Name: Manual (e.g., Competent Communication, Humorously Speaking, etc.): Completed Projects (e.g., 3 out of 10): Goal (e.g., I would like to complete the Storytelling Series by December): *This helps me with scheduling!! Please fill in these four areas, copy and paste it into an email, and send it to: Robert.Baker.A@xxxxxxxxxx I look forward to working with you in achieving your goals. When thinking about your goals, please think about the reasons why you joined the club and how the club can help your personal and professional development. Please contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Have a great week! Respectfully, Robert Baker VP Education Front Range Toastmasters #2668 District 26 Cell: (970) 576-9246 Email: Robert.Baker.A@xxxxxxxxx
