Youth Leadership .... In The News

Dear All,

I thought you'd be interested in reading an article about a Youth Leadership Program that was coordinated by Hilda DeLucia and assisted by Pat Kelly of Barnum Square Toastmasters.

Pat Wilson-Perkins, President
Barnum Square Toastmasters

Here is the link for the Bethel Beacon's article about the Toastmaster's Youth Leadership Program sponsored by Barnum Square Toastmasters.

New website for Barnum Square Toastmasters !

Barnum Square Toastmasters, who meet from noon to 1pm every Tuesday at the Senior Center in Bethel, CT have a new website !

Check it out! I especially like all the pictures... it really gives a feeling for what goes on in a meeting and personalizes the club so that is not just a name on a website.

The web address or URL has changed so they will need to update their link from Toastmasters International. This can be done by going to http://www.toastmasters.org/ and clicking on the "Club Business / Update Info" link which is the left margin on the page.

Please check out the site at:
http://barnum-square-tm.com/default.aspx

...and leave any suggestions in the comments below (or with Pat Wilson-Perkins, Area A4 governor and Barnum's past president and current S-at-Arms ). I'm sure they would appreciate your insights!

Subject: Barnum Square Toastmasters - Speech Contest Update

Our last meeting featured our local Speech Contest in preparation for the coming Spring 2007 Speech Contests for all Toastmaster Clubs and Areas in District 53.

All the contestants who participated performed exceptionally and their speeches were thoroughly enjoyable as well as motivating. Those who will present at the next level will proudly represent Barnum Square.

The following is a listing of who presented, the titles of their speech as well as in which realm they spoke. Also included, thanks to Gail and Phil Palermo are pictures taken during the meeting.

In the future, please consider participating in such a wonderful experience and enter a future contest. Thank you and enjoy your day and weekend to come.
