Speak to Your Success!  

Dear Warner Center Toastmasters: 

I’ve got three words for you:  Competition, Celebration, and Dedication!  Are you wondering just what I mean?  Well… 

1.     COMPETITION:  Warner Center Toastmasters will hold our club International Speech and Evaluation contest at our next meeting on Thursday, February 28.  This is a terrific opportunity to grow your speaking skills. Contact Cate Bramble if you would like to compete, need more information or if you would like to help out with the contest. 

2.     CELEBRATION:  At our March 13 meeting Warner Center Toastmasters will celebrate our 25^th Anniversary.  Join us for champagne toasts, some historic photos of the “olden days” of WCTM and a plethora of Table Topics TM success stories.  Our party would not be complete if we didn’t honor our Founder Rose Lane with a rousing round of roasts!!  Please let me know if you would like to join in the roasting fun – I’ll reserve time on the program for you.  (Not sure how to effectively give a roast?  No problem, the Toastmasters Special Occasion Speeches manual will walk you through the process.) 

3.     DEDICATION:  Our Dues are Due in March.  Renew your dedication to developing your communication and leadership skills.  Dues are $155 for the period April through September and include Toastmaster International dues, Warner Center club dues and buffet fees for our meetings.  You may renew at the next few meetings or you may mail your renewal to:  Rose Lane, 2960 Shadow Brook Lane, Westlake Village, CA  91361.  Please make your check payable to Warner Center Toastmasters.   

Thank you to our VP Education, Cate Bramble for chairing our February 14 meeting.  I hear all the speakers were absolutely phenomenal!  Congratulations to Nikki Todd for giving her Ice Breaker.  Kudos to our VP Membership, Beverly Rankel for advancing her leadership skills by presenting a module from the Toastmaster Successful Club series.  And finally, welcome to our two new members David Epstein, ATM and Michelle Estrellado. 

At Warner Center Toastmasters we are here to help you succeed.  Enjoy the supportive, creative and friendly environment.  Come find your voice, come find your message and come find your speaking success!
