From
your
District
Governor...
Dear
Friends,
“It is
easy
enough
to be
pleasant
when
life
flows
like a
song.
But the
person
worthwhile
is the
one who
can
smile
when
things
go dead
wrong”.
As we
usher a
new year
with joy
smile
and
laughter,
all what
we take
from the
past is
the
experience.
We gain
experience
at every
meeting,
at every
leadership
task we
undertake.
This is
the
right
time to
revisit
the
Toastmasters
promise
we gave
when we
joined.
Let me
remind
you;
As a
member
of
Toastmasters
International
and my
club, I
promise...
-
To
attend
club
meetings
regularly
-
To
prepare
all
of
my
speech
and
leadership
projects
to
the
best
of
my ability,
basing
them
on
projects
in
the Competent
Communication, Advanced
Communication
or Competent
Leadership manuals
-
To
prepare
for
and
fulfill
meeting
assignments
-
To
provide
fellow
members
with
helpful,
constructive
evaluations
-
To
help
the
club
maintain
the
positive,
friendly
environment
necessary
for
all
members
to
learn
and
grow
-
To
serve
my
club
as
an
officer
when
called
upon
to
do
so
-
To
treat
my
fellow
club
members
and
our
guests
with
respect
and
courtesy
-
To
bring
guests
to
club
meetings
so
they
can
see
the
benefits
Toastmasters
membership
offers
-
To
adhere
to
the
guidelines
and
rules
for
all
Toastmasters
educational
and
recognition
programs
-
To
maintain
honest
and
highly
ethical
standards
during
the
conduct
of
all
Toastmasters
activities
No
matter
what you
are,
from the
international
president,
to the
District
governor,
to the
member,
all of
us are
obliged
to live
by this
promise.
So let
us once
again
resolve
to live
by this
promise.
Please
read
International
President
DTM
Michael
Notaro’s
Viewpoint
in the
January
issue of
The
Toastmaster
Magazine.
He gives
us the
“Seven
Habits
of a
Highly
Effective
Toastmaster”.
Let me
wish you
a happy
and
fantastic
year
2012.
May god
shower
blessings
upon you
and your
family.
May you
find
strength
and
courage
to live
by our
promises,
fulfill
our
obligations
and
become
top
class
toastmasters.
Kind
Regards,
Saleem
