Here is your change… $0.01… a penny for your thoughts!
Thank you!

Lori,
I like attending club meetings and participating with the members. I also
enjoy the TLIs as they are short and sweet, to the point, there is a degree of
direct personal benefit, and we go out to lunch with close friends - and it's
done.
But when it comes to most of the "outside the club" district activities, I just
don't have the burning desire to attend. A few reasons:
> I don't feel like I get $100 of benefit personally.
> I don't have enough time in my life to do the things I'm already committed
> to, then to give up two weekends a year with the conferences away from my
> family is too much. Add to this the contest season...
> If I'm the Prez or EVP I feel that it's in the job description to attend --
> and I would be there for the business meeting at least.
> To some substantial degree it feels like bunch of pomp and circumstance with
> really no real meaning. One sits around with your name badge on and dressed
> up, bumping into acquaintances and saying "Hi Bob! Gosh, haven't seen you in
> ages! How are you doing? How's your club? Hey, that's nice, but gotta run,
> good to see you though! ". Just really don't see the direct benefit
> schmoozing.
That's my $0.02.

My Friends…
Another Toastmaster Spring Conference is a Wrap!
Thank you Front Range Toastmasters for allowing me to take the
Money Salad donation for the silent Auction on behalf of our Club.
The Salad was comprised of $100 in cold hard cash… Something most everyone can
use!
On behalf of District 26, Foothills Division Area F4… and your VP of Ed…
I would like to personally thank you for supporting the Conference with this
donation!
FRTM has a long history of support Toastmaster Events.
* A little shameless plug here… it would be SO great to see the members also
support Toastmasters Events with their presence! The conference had a great
turn out! There were a few hundred smiling faces that shared much more than
lunch & dinner.
New friendships were formed and all the Toastmaster problems across the City
were solved. Hmm, well OK… maybe not! We had a great time!
** If you are willing Please share with me… WHY you Don’t attend the
Conferences. The informant’s name will be kept TOP SECRET, but the reason will
be shared with the new incoming D26 Trio. We want to know what keeps our
members from making the decision, making the commitment to attend the Spring
&/or Fall Conferences. Please send me an e-mail…. Tell me your story, and I
will compile a response to submit to them.
Thank you!
Committed to your success through Toastmasters!
