Good evening Toastmasters!
Our Club competition is just around the corner. September 22nd 7PM at the
Thornton Civic Center.
The winners of our competition will represent FRTM at the following events:
SAVE THE DATES!!!
Area Competition October 8th Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest at
Broomfield Library AND hopefully. on to
District 26 Fall Conference November 11-12 Humorous Speech and Evaluation
Contest, Colorado Springs
Our Club is seeking a Chief Judge and 3 Judges for the event, in addition to
a few additional support roles.
At our meeting this week we will have a sign-up sheet and will ask you to:
Support your Friendly Front Range Toastmasters!
There is NO better place to learn these roles than at a Club Competition! I
will highlight the responsibilities of the Chief Judge below so you'll have
an idea what is needed. Basically, the Chief Judge manages the Judges Team
and voting process. All judges need to complete the Judges Certification
training that is on the TMI website. This is a simple 15-20 minute tutorial
that you can do at your leisure! This training will prepare you for the
role. then all you need to do is be a good listener.. vote for the Best
Speaker and Evaluator.
*I have attached the Contest guide that will be utilized for Area and
District Competitions. At the Club Level we will follow basic TM protocol
but have the option to be somewhat less formal. IF we want to!
Being a Judge at the Club level is the PERFECT opportunity to learn the
role.. You will have the support of the Co-Chairs Kathy Barrett and Lori
High and the entire club behind you.
Our Own Kathy Barrett will be our Honored Toastmaster for the event. it is
SURE to be a fun packed evening!
PLEASE take that Leap of Faith.. WE NEED YOU!!!! Plus. you can get credit
for the role in your CL manual!!!
If you are feeling that urge to say YES.
Just do it!!! Nike-logo-1.jpgLet Kathy and Lori know!
