Get the Point?

By Wes Hoover, DTM, District Governor

My Fellow Toastmasters…

We are now halfway through the year, and we have achieved so much together.
Founder’s District has one principle - to be the BEST, nothing less. With each of us giving our best efforts, we are sure to succeed in our quest to be a Distinguished District or better.

Founder’s District is well on its way to accomplish most goals laid out for us by Toastmasters International.

One area of concern as we enter the second half of the year relates to effectively fulfilling the Mission of the District.

Simply put, the Mission of the District is to enhance the performance and extend the network of clubs, thereby offering greater numbers of people the opportunity to benefit from the Toastmasters educational program.

While we have chartered many new clubs, we have lost some as well. As a result, we have not been as successful in extending our network of clubs as we had hoped. Overall, we are still not where we would like to be as a District.

We need your help. We need to work as a team to extend the network of clubs. To make this fun, we are introducing an exciting new incentive program…“Get the Point.”

This program will run from February 1, 2012 through April 30, 2012, and is open to all Founder’s District Toastmasters in good standing with Toastmasters International.
