Spreading the Word

Mariam Durrani is taking full advantage of winning our Region 3 Advisor Linda Williams' personal Toastmasters cup at the Marketing workshop. She is talking up Toastmasters to her teammates and supervisor.

The teammate Mariam carpools with took this picture after learning how Mariam won it.

A supervisor commented on the "new addition" to her mug collection, but then noticed there was only one mug on Mariam's desk. When asked where the collection was, Mariam stated, "the mug collection is just that... a collection. Toastmasters is a path for speaking and leadership which I endorse." The supervisor smiled and nodded.

It is great to know that Mariam is doing her part to build "A Toastmasters Field of Dreams."

Brink's Demo Is a Jewel of a Meeting

District 25's Marketing Team presented one of their solid-gold demo meetings at Brink's U.S. headquarters in Coppell on Friday, Oct 11th.

Nineteen potential Brink's Toastmasters attended the meeting led by Club Extension Chair Michael Sheridan.

Michael Weinmann, a member of the Off the Cuff club and a Brink's employee, arranged for the meeting and gave the Ice Breaker speech. Kathryn Burkhart of the Michael's Craft Masters club gave the Advanced speech.

Three Brink's employees did not hesitate to step up for Timer and to answer the Table Topics questions in great style.

Also assisting with meeting roles were Ted Martin of Keller Communicators, Lt. Governor Marketing Cindy Hinckley, District Governor Dean Lampman, and Public Relations Officer Jodie Sanders.

All the Brink's folks were friendly, enthusiastic, and asked lots of questions. We expect them to join District 25 very soon, and you can take that prediction to the bank.
