Welcome to Our Newest Clubs!

As Distict Governor, one of my greatest pleasures is to welcome new clubs to the district.  Sometimes I even get to visit the people who have taken all the steps that leads to handing in the charter paperwork. Such was the case on the Friday of our conference when I visited our two newest clubs with our International Director, DTM Gina Cook.

At our first stop, we were introduced to Robert Achtemichuk, President of DiverseCity by Georgina Green, the Division W Marketing Ambassador.  It was good to hear how this club is meeting the needs of the people in the K-W area who are in transition, as well as those who are on track in their employment.  Each has come to realize the importance of having communication and leadership skills and have found this Toastmasters club to provide them with the knowledge and practice to enhance them.

Our next stop was to visit Com Dev in Cambridge.  There we were met by Scott Weitzel, President and Philip Bennett, Sergeant-at-Arms of the new Com Dev club.  We were escorted to a second floor board room which usually holds their meetings. There we learned how Com Dev has been a great encourager for the club to form and is now supporting the members.

 Both of these clubs presented their charter papers to the International Director.  As this was on Friday, April 8th, both clubs will have 20 entries into the draw to win the Data Projector donated by Tech Data Canada Corporation.  Congratulations DiverseCity and Com Dev.  Good luck!

Is your club on the verge of chartering? Can you get it processed by May 31st?  If so, then your club will likewise have an entry for every new member of this new club put into the draw. 

Best of luck to you all!
