If I were a "Mad Man" (from AMC's television series)

Have you ever wondered what you would look like as one of the characters in the AMC series, "Mad Men"?

No, me neither... but it was fun to check out their site and build a 1950's style avatar.

Check out mine...

I think the tie is a nice touch !

Very professional ... great for presentations (see below, left) !

Not sure about the hair and the smile though...

It is certainly better than when I was "Simpsonized" last year...

Div.A Toastmasters in-the-News !

Hats off to Carmine Coco De Young!

Carmine, the VP-PR for WestConn Toastmasters, recently got the article pictured to the right placed in a local paper.


The article was primarily about Dave Wheeler's recent DTM award but it also included a number of quotes as well as a view into many aspects of Toastmasters that should be of interest to prospective new members.



Carmine included a photograph (which improved the chances that the story would be run) and made personal contact with the people at the paper so that she had a good idea what they were looking for in an article!
