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!

For a copy of the article from the Wed. Jan16th, New Fairfield Citizen newspaper (in PDF format), click here.

Hello all,
Thanks to Diane, Croix and Dave, we are the proud (and probably very temporary) owners of Alex, the Traveling Gavel. Since we were well represented at Westconn last Wednesday, we qualified to capture the toy car. I think we should start a bumper sticker "log" to document the date and club that carjacked (gavel jacked?) Alex.

Diane is ensuring its security at the moment, and will be bringing it to our next meeting. I thought she would get a kick out of showing it to some of her friends and fellow residents at the Lutheran Home. I will try to get a picture of it.

Hope to see you Wednesday,

Don
