1 Solid Reason to throw away the Toastmaster magazine when it comes in the mail

Happy Holidays fellow Toastmasters,

By now you are probably wondering why the title of this article says throw away the Toastmaster magazine when you get it.

First, let me say that instead of throwing away a perfectly good magazine or two, recycle them or bring them into your club and give them to a club officer, so they can in turn pass them along to visitors and other non-Toastmasters.

'The miracle is this - the more we share, the more we have' ~ Leonard Nimoy, Actor

I also wanted to let everyone know that there is a cool new way to get the latest Toastmaster magazine and Go Green.

Here's how to get it.

Go to www.toastmasters.org
Login with your username and password, login button is at the very top of the page about the word 'masters' in Toastmasters.

If this is your first time logging into the main Toastmasters International (TI) site, your username is the same as your membership number. Obviously without a password you can't get in so the easiest thing to do is click on reset your password, enter your email (should be the same one that you receive emails from our club website) TI will email you a confirmation link to reset and create a new password. Be sure to write down your username and password for future reference.

Once you are logged into TI's main site, you should see your name and current member status on the top left.







Toastmaster magazine icon can be found on the left half way down the page, click on the Toastmasters magazine picture and start reading.

If you are having any issues logging into the main TI site or viewing the Toastmaster magazines, please contact TI either through email or by phone.

Last Question - Submitted by Santa

So Jason, if you have us go through all the trouble of logging into TI's main site to get the latest Toastmaster magazine, why don't you just put them on our club website?

Great question Santa,

I would love to put the Toastmaster magazines on our website, however our club website will only allow us to upload a certain amount of info, usually about 5MB. Each Toastmaster magazine is larger than 5MB so we are unable to upload them to our club website. Each Toastmaster magazine is around 7 to 12MB.

Have a wonderful Holiday season and a Happy New Year!

October happenings for Miami Advanced Toastmasters

Good Day fellow Advanced Toastmasters,

It's that time of month again where we come together as Advanced Toastmasters and elevate our evaluation skills.

Our next meeting is on October 12th 2010 7 - 9pm

Kendal Sports Grill

9090 SW 97th Ave (across from Kendal Library)

Jonathan Kroner will be serving as Toastmaster, so if you are scheduled to speak, or evaluate please confirm your attendance with him.

As a special surprise one of our Advanced Toastmasters will be celebrating their BIG 30 B-day on Oct 14th. I can't tell you who, so you'll have to show up and find out, but it is someone we all know and love.

If you are serving as an officer please note that there will be a BOD meeting directly after the meeting.

The District 47 fall conference is fast approaching, just 30 days to go!!!

This year the Fall Conference will be held right here, in our own back yard.

If you are doubting whether or not you should go just listen to what Area Gov Paul Krebes has to say about volunteering and attending Toastmaster events outside of your club.

"Hello All,
Please plan to attend the District Conference right here in Miami.
I have learned so much from attending and participating in Toastmasters events.
I have always received more than I gave by volunteering." Paul Krebes

As the President of Miami Advanced I highly encourage everyone to attend. This is something that only happens once a year and who knows when TI will be hosting another Fall Conference here in Miami.

To Register for the Fall Conference, go here ~~~~~~> http://tinyurl.com/TMFallConf2010

If your looking for pricing, for those of us on a tight budget, go here ~~~~~> http://tinyurl.com/TMConf2010Pricing

If you plan on attending by yourself go ahead and register, however I think it would be a great idea to go as a group and carpool with each other.

So if your a member of Southdade TM get in touch with Paul Krebes if your interested in going as a group, and if you are a member of Miami Advanced and would like to go as a group get in touch with Jason Stewart.

Remember, just 30 days to go!!!

I would like to present you with a very special opportunity to expand your Toastmasters experience.

Many of us have given speeches, participated and maybe even competed in a few contests, attended a officer training, etc...

but.......

There is one thing which you probably have not done yet, and that is.....

Contribute and Mentor at a Youth Leadership Program.

So what is a Youth Leadership Program?

Youth Leadership through Toastmasters is a very special kind of opportunity and it's not for everyone.

During a YLP we as Toastmasters have the opportunity to help instruct and witness Middle school/ Early High School students conduct their own Toastmasters meeting.

Think it's easy???

Then I encourage you to GET INVOLVED in this year's Youth Leadership Program starting October 16th, Saturday

We are looking for 2 - 3 volunteers that have completed at least 6 manual speeches to help coordinate and assist the current coordinators conduct a successful Youth Leadership Program. This also counts towards your Advanced Communicator Gold Status within Toastmasters.

So, if your looking for a challenge, and yes it will be a very fun and rewarding challenge, please respond to this email indicating your interest.

Remember we only have room for 2 more Toastmasters, 3 at the most.

Grab your spot Today!!!
