the Toastmasters year beginning July 1 is “Getting Better Together.”
Your fellow Toastmasters can help you make it happen. How can we help? Check

Miracle-Grow for Goals
For bringing big goals to fruition, Carol Kormelink, DTM recommends a
special high-yield, proven effective “Miracle-Grow” not available on store
shelves. So now you’re wondering: How to get it? And where to keep it? Well,
let’s just say “It’s in the wiggle room!”
If you ask Carol, she will tell you: "’Planting
season’ is now!” Decide how you and your club will build "wiggle
room" into personal and club plans for a successful year in 2008-2009 in
Toastmasters and beyond. Learn more at Officer Training/ TLI on August 2 at
the Roberts Centre in Wilmington,
OH. For a preview (or a review,
as the case may be), read "It's All About Wiggle Room" in the Success
Times, our District newsletter, on page 5 of the Fall 2007 Edition.
A team of Toastmasters from around D40 will renovate our
website. We hope you find the tools and information here will enhance your
Toastmasters experience. We hope the website helps you discover a few hidden
gems of D40. Do you wish to help with construction, research, writing/editing,
or quality assurance/ standards maintenance? Contact
Us!
