WE ARE OFFICIALLY A DISTRICT 25 DISTINGUISHED CLUB.
We have now reached five of the ten goals set forth by Toastmasters International to measure how well we are meeting the needs of our members. Here's the summary:
Goal #1: Two Competent Communicators. Joyce King & Nick Colón have accomplished this, and we're very proud of them!
Goal #5: One Competent Leader, Advanced Leader Bronze, Advanced Leader Silver, or Distinguished Toastmaster. Tammy completed her CL manual on July 27.
Goal #6: One more CL, AL-B, AL-S or DTM. Patricia Quick submitted all the completed requirements to attain Distinguished Toastmaster in August 2010. What a momentous achievement!
Goal #7: Four new members: Since July 1, we have added Juan & Marla Tovar, Ryan Gallagher, and John Bacon. They will bring fresh ideas and energy to Afterburners!
Goal #9: Minimum four officers trained July & December. All seven of your club officers attended district training in July, so we have a half-point to our credit on this goal.
Goal #10: One membership dues renewal and one club officer list. We now know we have achieved this, which puts us at 5.5 points for the year.
If we did NOTHING else for the rest of the Toastmaster year, we would still be Distinguished, but of course, Afterburners is not known for resting on its laurels. Our sights are set on being Presidents Distinguished, which requires a minimum of NINE of those goals, and we have a tradition of meeting all TEN goals.
I know we'll get there!
