April showers bring May flowers and everything is in bloom, including District 26.

We want to add more flowers to our garden by way of new clubs and new members. Let’s talk about building membership.

Beat the Clock
Program Dates: May 1 – June 30

• Make it your club’s goal to earn the “Beat the Clock” award and encourage every member to take part. Clubs adding five new, dual or reinstated members with a join date between May 1 and June 30 receive a “Beat the Clock” ribbon to display on the club’s banner. 
• Qualifying clubs also earn a special discount code for 10-percent off their next club order. (The discount code expires six months from the date of issue and is not valid with any other offer.)
• Applications and payments for members with a join date between May 1 and June 30 must be received at World Headquarters or online no later than June 30. The addition of transfer and charter members does not count toward “Beat the Clock” credit.
• More information may be found at www.toastmasters.org.

Open Houses

Open Houses may be held throughout the year and run concurrently with other membership building efforts. Open Houses are great opportunities to invite people within your community or corporation to come and experience all that Toastmasters has to offer in helping people improve public speaking and build leadership skills.

If you need help planning your Open House event, please contact me at CGD1819[at]nulld26leaders.org.
