Bring Your Membership Dues This Week

Just a reminder to please bring in your membership dues this week and give them to Mei Yee, our Toastmasters club treasurer. Bringing it early will help get things properly set up with Toastmasters International in terms of continuing your membership without delays. Thanks for your cooperation.

Dues For Next Meeting

Thanks to those of you who paid membership dues to Mei Yee this past weekend.  If you are planning to attend the next club meeting on September 20, you can give the dues cash or cheques payable to Comfortably Speaking Toastmasters to me since Mei Yee will be absent for that meeting.

That club meeting will be your last chance to pay in person.  If you miss that one, you will have to mail her a cheque to her address as specified in her e-mail.  All members who pay by the end of the month will remain as active members at TI in California.  Those who don't will not be active members according to TI and this will affect any potential awards and other TM activities that only club members are allowed to do.  So please get your membership dues in.

 

Another Benefit With Toastmasters Membership

One of the benefits of having a Toastmasters membership is that one can visit other Toastmasters clubs elsewhere, even in other countries as I did last week in Germany.  Each Toastmasters club is slightly different so there is always something to learn from a visit to a club other than one's home club.  This week, I will be a guest speaker at Nortel since they invited me earlier this summer at the division Q BBQ.
