Beef Up an Anemic Program in Your Club!

Gerald Fleischmann, DTM, District Speaker Exchange Coordinator

Does your club often have only one speaker - or even none - when two or three should be speaking?  That's probably due to a low number of members, or active members in your club.  How far below 20 are you?

But there's a way up and out!  Founders' Speaker Exchange program is already drawing from a growing data base of guest speakers and clubs needing speakers.  Beefing up your program with guest speakers will help your PR and Membership effort!  You can get more prospects to join an exciting club than a boring "weakfish" one!  Check out and check into:   http://www.foundersdistrict.org/speakers-exchange for the way up and out of the program doldrums and into the light of entertaining, varied, and fun meeting programs!  And more prospects converting to members!

Don't wait!  If you are a Contest Master in need of a Test Speaker to fill your stage, or if you're a Toastmaster who'd like more opportunities to speak (stage time, stage time, stage time!) - either as a test speaker at a contest or as a guest at another club, check out and check into Founders' Speaker Exchange page on our website and plan on success.

Boost your Club to the Next Level
 

To Be the BEST… and Nothing Less, is the motto of Founder's District.

• Is your club the BEST it can be?
• Are you at charter strength with at least 20 members?
• Are you meeting regularly, at least 12 times a year?
• Do you have at least 12 members at each meeting?
• Do you have invigorating meetings with manual speeches, evaluations and table topics?
• Are you on track to be a President's Distinguished club by June 2012?
• Have you set precise goals and developed a comprehensive action plan to achieve 10/10 distinguished club goals by 30 June 2012?

Perhaps your goal is to achieve 5/10 distinguished club goals by 31 December 2011 and claim generous gifts from the District.
