CONGRATULATIONS to all of you. As Number 6 of the best Districts in the world we are a President´s Distinguished District.  You can be very proud of (y)our accomplishments last year which helped lead to this wonderful recognition. What a great success! I’m very grateful having been a part of it.

Let's look ahead. We are now one month into our Toastmasters year 2010-2011.

This will be a year full of exciting challenges and limitless possibilities. I believe that we deserve to repeat and even exceed last year’s success. We can do it. It is easy to do. 

Have you already started the process of “Fulfilling Your Dreams”? How? 

Continue to follow your goals. I’m sure you all have your communication and leadership goals written down. Remember that if you know where you’re heading the goal is easy to reach. Continue to fulfill your dreams by taking small steps toward the achievement of your goals. If you do so (y)our success is inevitable.

Make every speech count. Provide and receive valuable feedback. Help as a leader to ensure exciting quality meetings every single time. Toastmasters provides a variety of experiences on all levels of communication.

Share your passion and your experiences about Toastmasters with those around you. Toastmasters has a lot to offer for all of us. Why not start a new club in your company or in your neighborhood? Then we can give even more people in our District 59 the opportunity to benefit from the Toastmasters program. Starting new clubs leads to countless fun and very rewarding experiences.

Ask your Toastmasters colleagues what their expectations are and see how you can implement those ideas into your club’s environment. Sometimes a brief interview or survey can show many suggestions for improvement. Toastmasters is not static. It’s a dynamic and learning environment where all of us have the opportunity to grow beyond our expectations.

Have fun with everything you do and continue 

“Fulfilling Your Dreams”.

Have a great day.

Benjamin
