Spring Club Visits

Yes, its that time again... time for my spring club visits.

One of the duties of a Toastmasters Area Governor is that I make at least two "official" visits to each club in my area, and then report my findings to Toastmasters.org.  Last night, I visited Techtalk Toastmasters, the second largest, and arguably the strongest club in Area 84 this year.  I try to make it over to Techtalk, located at NetApp in the Triangle, at least once a month.  Even though I've been in Toastmasters for nearly five years now, there is still a lot I can learn, and these guys are the kind of club who can do the teaching.

Of course I have already submitted my report for Techtalk.  Now I get to look forward to next week when I have my remaining four club visits planned:  Carylina Toastmasters, PowerNAAAPsters, Talkers@Cisco, and my home club, BCP Toastmasters.

TLI-East

Yesterday, I spent pretty much the entire day at the District 37 TLI-East in Raliegh.  There were a couple of VERY GOOD sessions, including a Moments of Truth presentation, and a session on Advanced Clubs, pressented by immediate past District Governor Sharon Anita Hill.  In addition, there was a lot of good information regarding this year's realignment, as well as a wealth of information regarding upcoming dates for various toastmasters events.  Glad I was able to attend.
