Dear Fellow Toastmasters, 

Well, another year is coming to a close. It’s a time when we look back to see what we’ve accomplished and what we failed to do. It’s a time for good cheer, and wishes of happiness for the coming year. 

It’s no different here at Warner Center Toastmasters. Take a moment to look back at your accomplishments this year in your development as a speaker. Maybe you just joined, which in itself is a significant step to improving your public speaking. 

Or, maybe you earned your CTM this year, which is a major accomplishment. Whatever it may be, above all else, the fact that you are making an effort to be at every Toastmasters meeting is something to be proud of and will go a long way in whatever your public speaking or self-improvement goals may be. 

When you sit down this year and think about what you want to accomplish next year, be sure you add a challenge in terms of your involvement with Toastmasters. Set a goal to accomplish your CTM, or next level of achievement. Maybe your goal is simply to do your Ice Breaker. Maybe you want to be on the board. Whatever it is, spend a few minutes now and make the commitment to yourself to accomplish that goal. 

We hope that you’ll be able to make the holiday party on Friday night at the Goldmans. If you’ve not already done so, please contact Carolyn Goldman to let her know if you will be attending. 

And, here’s a reminder that this Thursday night is our last meeting for the year. We will be starting again on January 13.

 Cheers and Happy Holidays!
