How to save a Toastmasters club?
On 6/3/09, Star Search Club had new officers (2009-10 term) induction. Club's honaray lifetime member and past president Ed Stoermer-DTM was kind enough not only to attend but also perform the induction. Even at his age, Ed was so elegant, gracious and humourous. He gave a brief speech about 'how he saved club' in the 80s. He joked that he not only saved the club but also walked on water. He went on to say that saving a club is not just one time event but it should happen in every meeting. Club is saved when (1) meeting starts in time, (2) guests are welcomed warmly, (3) members come well prepared to the meeting (4) when there is ice-breaker speech and (5) evaluation is done to motivate the speaker...etc. It was a great speech and his induction style was so much with fun and motivation.
