Editor's Notes
- #5 Regina’s Word Weavers Hall of Fame speech was a big part of the 10th Anniversary Celebration in January 2013…
- #6 At the end of 2012 we moved the website to EasySpeak & redesigned it, so it made sense to use EasySpeak for meeting planning. EasySpeak gives us the possibility to slice and dice all kinds of information and reports about club performance, not to mention, being able to easily see who gave what speech when…
- #9 Wonderful workshops and educationals from Norbert, Rita, Regina, Ron, Ingo, Andrea, and, and, and…
- #10 Isabelle sparkled as the Contest Master on several occasions, Patrizia shined as the Table Topics Contest Chair, and Andrea made sure we followed the rules as the Chief Judge.
- #11 We were visited by the reigning District 59 Governor Morag Mathieson, her husband, and F1 Area Governor Rudy Moralez
- #16 Regina started a mentorship program for the club Ron experimented with web technology to do an indoctrination program in our F3 Area
- #17 Being a DTM (Distinguished Toastmaster) is one of the highest achievements that a Toastmaster can earn. It is a lot of work and takes a great deal of time, so the road to achieving it is long and takes great commitment to follow through and complete.
- #18 To achieve the Triple Crown, a Toastmaster needs to complete three educational awards within a single Toastmaster year.
- #26 We learned a lot about the Nobel Prize in our award winning evening. Regina and Sina inspired and educated us on all things Nobel. Bryan was our Toastmaster of the Evening, and he also severed at the Table Topics Master.
- #28 Every year the Word Weaver Christmas is a crowd pleaser and you always have to wonder how the next one will be better, but we always build on the fun and excitement of the previous one and the 2013 Christmas meeting was no exception. What will the Christmas meeting in 2014 be like?
- #31 We’re going to be in a new District starting in July. Hello District 95 Toastmasters is turning 90 this year and should be reaching their 300,000th member, what club will they come from, why not us! Word Weavers is going for the Three-peat and we need your help to get there. We have some exciting and fun events planned. Lets make it a Great Year!
