How long have you been in Toastmasters? Around 14 years
What are your plans for the district/area/division? Just watch it grow.
Why did you join Toastmasters?
Two members of our church decided to start a Toastmasters group at our church. We were good friend, so I decided why not join?
What advice do you have for new members?
Stick to it. Even if you have some dry times, the effort you spend trying to do your manuals is well work it. Don’t forget the Competent Leadership Manual – the CL. You never know your potential for leadership until you get some of the projects under your belt.
