Creating a quality club

"Sugar-coating evaluations is not a good strategy."

Stand up and greet guests that come to your meetings. "They say is the job if the VP Membership, VP Education, but who else could do that job? EVERYBODY!"

Experienced members aren't just experienced toastmasters. "I've had new toastmasters who came into the club, and had a wealth of experience."

Remember our toastmasters values: integrity, respect, service, excellence

Congrats to our clubs that received STRIDE awards
