Sucessful Presentations Begin with the Introduction

Michelle~
Thanks for introducing my speech today. It felt great to be so well introduced!
~Julie

Toastmasters.org says introductions help bring smooth transitions to our meeting. As a speaker you can write your own introduction, or leave it to the person introducing you. Either way the info conveyed to the rest of the group should include:

• Speech topic and title
• Manual and project title
• Assignment objectives
• Speaker’s personal objectives
• Delivery time

Try 30-60 seconds in length.

Happy Veteran's Day!

Brief Remarks

Pausing For Laughter

how should we keep in touch ?

For practical reasons, What is the best way for us to contact you at the end of each week ? email,phone, other ?
For example , we need to let each member & guest know that we're Meeting this Tues 09-22-09, @ 7 PM @ Madonna Rehab hospital , in the Sheridan room. We'll help with the speech contest and learn from the Lincoln Area leaders. Then Sept 29 we'll do the first demo meeting of the Speechcraft course, at Anderson Library, to help our new Toastmaster Listeners, Learners, Speakers, and Leaders, at our local Club level.
Thanks, Ken D

Fall Conference

Notes from Jean:
Oh my goodness. The conference is just around the corner: Friday evening, October 9; Saturday all day and evening, October 10. I have my sleeping room reserved at Mahoney State Park (Thurs, Fri, and Sat). I have turned in my registration. If you turn in a full registration now or before our September 22 division contest, the cost is $60. After that the prices will escalate. You will love this conference and get a taste of a Toastmasters conference. WE will be hosting the spring conference here in Lincoln.... I will need your help on that. Of special interest to all Toastmasters: International Speech Contest Winner Jim Key will be at the conference Friday night and Saturday. You will want to be there to hear him.
I will see you all in two weeks.
Jean
