A Huge THANK YOU to Tech Data Canada Corporation

No doubt you've ALL read the blog about our District Campaign and the Grand Prize Draw.  So you know that every club in our district has the opportunity to not only participate but to WIN!!!!

Win what you say?  I am so glad you asked.  The grand prize is a PC Free USB Data Projector.  WOW!!!! you say.

But that's not the best news. Let me tell you the very best news.  Are you ready?  Here's the best news:

Tech Data Canada Corporation is donating the prize.  That's right.  This company which four years ago supported the start up of the corporate Tech Data Toastmasters club is now supporting our campaign to grow and achieve remarkable results by donating the grand prize.  In fact, this club's anniversary date is April 23rd. so congratulations are in order.  Best wishes for many more years to come.

Rick Reid, President of Tech Data Canada Corporation, is donating a Samsung SP-M256 model Data Projector.  It's one of the most popular models being sold today and retails around the $1000.00 mark so it is indeed a Grand Prize.  The club winning the club will receive this:                                               

The projector’s USB drive supports all your files without the need for a computer, so you can directly view PDF, TXT, HTML, MPEGS, JPGS, and the whole suite of MS Office files. Everything you need to make an effective presentation is here.

At only 2.5 kg, the ultra-portable Samsung M seires projector enables you to make professional presentations in any environment. Its pristine white body, compact size, and user-friendly design features make it ideal for mobile use. With easy lamp and filter replacement and one-touch foot release, it can be set-up and maintained in seconds.

The Samsung M series projector has an intelligent Economy mode that not only reduces power consumption and operating noise but also extends lamp life to an incredible 5000 hours. Economy mode is specifically designed for use with screens that are 100 inches or less.

Isn't that totally fantastic????  Isn't that a prize to get excited about????  I think so!

Can I hear you all say a very loud THANK YOU Tech Data Canada! 

Doesn't that just make you want to finish those speeches and leadership projects?  Don't you feel more inspired to organize those Open Houses, Invite Your Friends or whatever special events to spread the news about Toastmasters to build up your club membership?

And when new members are hesitant to join now because your club doesn't meet over the summer, don't you just want to say, join now and we'll be sure to hold special meetings in the summer.  Join forces with other clubs in your area and host joint meetings.  Have them join now and work on those speeches to prepare for the contests in the fall.  Your club will get ahead of the pack when they are charged up in September while others are just warming up again.

Remember, every time a new member joins, send a copy of the application to districtcampaign@gmail.com.
Every time a member submits an educational award, send a copy to districtcampaign@gmail.com. 

Ready? Set? Go?
