Metro Division Speech-a-Brunch-a-thon ...

Are you trying to complete your Competent Communicator educational award before June 30? Grab a speaking slot now at the Metro Division's Speech-a-Brunch-a-thon sponsored by the Leadership Lambda Toastmasters Club! Download the flyer (in PDF format) now and plan to be there: Metro Division Speech-a-thon.

According to the latest information I have from nearly midnight Thursday night, there are still four speaking slots available, all in the afternoon. If 1:45-2:30 is a bit too late for you, someone in the group that starts at noon will probably be glad to trade. (Everyone each of the other speakers in the group he or she is in so that no-one except the organizers has to stay for the whole thing—unless you want to.) Go to the District 50 Toastmasters Website for more information and how to contact Helen Humphrey right on the home page. Even if you won't complete your CC by June 30 but want to get that much closer, inquire because there may be room for you!

When you come, bring both your Competent Communication and Competent Leadership manuals with you so you can also get a written evaluation of, and credit for, your speech evaluation.

Last night, Co-Chair Danni Babik said they also need a few people to be helpers, such as timers vote-counters. Also, anyone who just wants to get out and have a good time—and lunch—with other Toastmasters, it will be a great opportunity to actually have time for fun and fellowship as well as hearing some good speeches and evaluations.

If you don't have time on June 12, then you may be able to fit into the combined Town North & Vista Divisions' Speech-a-thon a week later immediately following the last meeting of District 50's current Executive Committee at Thomson-Reuters on Midway Road north of LBJ Freeway.
