VOLUME 14 DECEMBER
Dear members of District 59,
I’m excited and impressed by the
vast number of possibilities the
Toastmasters educational program
offers. Communication and
leadership are two words we hear
so often that we can become numb
to them. Communication gets our
message out and understood to
the right people in the right way
and leadership helps us guide
others along their path to dream
fulfillment.
Most Toastmasters begin by
learning how to speak in front of
people, then go on to discover the
excitement that comes from
helping others to grow by serving
in one of the leadership position
like Sergeant at Arms, President,
Governor, etc.
Forrest Gump’s mother said: „Life
was like a box of chocolates. You
never know what you're gonna
get“. It's rather like Toastmasters.
What does a box of Toastmasters’
have to offer?
There are many opportunities to
develop our leadership strengths:
The numerous educational
Bohemian
Toastmasters
Visits
Page 8
programs and workshops provided
by Toastmasters International, the
Youth Leadership Program and
even the High Performance
Leadership project where we hone
our skills with a project of our own
choice. Although these don’t have
to be strictly related to
Toastmasters they are the perfect
opportunity to promote
Toastmasters to others who might
be interested in learning what
we've learnt.
Have fun, share your box of
chocolates and enjoy the pursuit of
Fulfilling Your Dreams.
Have a great day.
Benjamin Bruehl,
District Governor

I wish to share with you the experience of your fellow Toastmasters in
combining the Public Relations and Toastmasters educational program.
Creating and promoting a club event gives an opportunity to complete
a High Performance Leadership project. Read how five year charter
celebration of Verdi Rhetorik Klub served for HPL project.
This works also vice versa, Alicante club has scheduled the
educational programs from Better Speaker Series for the whole
Toastmasters year and promotes these as comprehensive
communication/leadership seminars.

Supporting the Next
Generation
We all became Toastmasters
because we know that we can
benefit in some way or another but
have you ever thought that
Toastmasters can go beyond our
club or our members?
Two members of Erlangen
Toastmasters club, Morag
Mathieson and Fiona Whiting came
together on an amazing journey.
Fiona Whiting is a Middle School
English teacher at the Franconian
International School (FIS) where
the students complete the
International Baccalaureate in
Grade 12. One part of the English
course requires that the students
prepare and give a presentation on
a set topic, which is videotaped
and sent to examiners. The
students had no problem with their
academic knowledge but many
were insecure and nervous when
speaking in front of a video
camera. I am sure lots of us can
identify with that!
Fiona realized that Toastmasters
could help her students so she
mentioned it to a fellow
Toastmaster Morag Mathieson who
recommended the Youth
Leadership program. As soon as
support for the program was given
from the FIS English department,
both ladies got hands on and were
eager to see the results of the
Youth Leadership program.
The Youth Leadership program was
run over eight weeks as an after
school activity. Morag and Fiona
created a small group of 10
volunteer students. Following the
Youth Leadership manual they
practiced giving speeches, doing
table topics, sharing evaluations
and filling in other regular
Toastmasters’ meeting roles. The
students particularly liked the body
language module and found it very
valuable. After only 8 weeks all
students were far more confident.
Fiona and Morag described the
students’ improvement “like the
contrast between night and day, it
was amazing to see how quickly
they learn.”
Fiona and Morag agree that the
program was very successful and
they highly recommend it to any
Toastmaster, club, or school that
wants to give their students a
higher level of self confidence
when presenting.
Toastmasters is more than just a
club to teach us how to speak in
public. We can help our
communities with the experience
that we have gained in
Toastmasters. Could you imagine
yourself having that knowledge
and confidence when you were 17
years old?
We can support the next
generation.

• Focus on
educational goals
• Educational
speeches based on
The Better Speaker
Series
• Scheduled in
advance for the
whole Toastmasters
year
Alicante Speakers Club is a very
young club. After the chartering
process and working hard on
membership to ensure a stable
number of members, the
committee has decided to focus on
educational goals this year - one of
the main values of Toastmasters.
Alicante Speakers Club
Educational Program 2010-2011
This program consists of
educational speeches covering
different aspects of
communication. Based on topics
from the Best Speaker series, the
speeches will take place during
regular Toastmasters meetings and
will be conducted by Alicante
Speakers Club Committee
Members.
Topic Date
Major goals for this program are to
develop our members’
communication skills and to
provide guests with a valuable
experience when they decide to
join one of our meetings. In
addition to the regular meeting,
they will experience a
comprehensive
communication/leadership seminar.
If you are in Alicante on the
specified dates, feel free to join us
and have a taste of our
Toastmasters’ development
experience. More information is

Aeronautical College. He has a Master of Science degree
from Bangalore University in India.
Varghese has been a Toastmaster since 1997. As District

Varghese visited District 59 Fall Conference and gave two workshops on club building.

District Officer's interview:
Didier Dehem LGM
What did you say about
yourself in your Ice-Breaker
speech?
I explained the method I used to
prepare my speech. It was an
indirect presentation of me
How would you now introduce
yourself to the Toastmasters in
District 59?
I am Didier Dehem your Lieutenant
Governor Marketing. This position
is dedicated to supporting the
District's mission and in particular
the issues to promoting new clubs
and supporting membership of
existing clubs.
What has been the biggest
challenge during your
Toastmasters experience?
My biggest challenges have been:
Running the position of area
governor and of Lieutenant
Governor Marketing. I liked very
much being president of my club:
"Le Club des Orateurs" Some
people hesitate being club
president because of the symbolic
state of representing a club. The
position of Lieutenant Governor
Marketing opens the doors to the
international, outside the district, it
is very exciting.
What are your objectives for
this year as a District Officer?
I have three challenges:
• having one new club per area,
• being more efficient through
delegating, planning and giving
recognition,
• setting up club building
committees at division and district
levels.
What did you take with you
from the Convention?
The Convention is really an
International event. I met so many
people coming from all around the
world. It was the time of
networking and exchanging
expertise. The Q and A sessions
with the candidates running for
International positions were a
great opportunity to discover the
International Policy of
Toastmasters International. I
learned that our District 59 has its
own characteristics: it is a very
large district, there are many
countries and many languages and
we are very dynamic.
What advice would you give to
a member who plans to visit
the Convention for the first
time?
The more you give, the more you
receive.

15 : 15
To have 15 new
members and an
average of 15 club
members attend
every meeting
• Organized a special
event partnered with
two key groups.
• Old Town
Association of Zug
provided the venue
and promoted the
event.
• Zug4You promoted
the event and
sponsored the drinks.
Toastmasters Zug had lost many
active members over the past
couple of years, and at the end of
the 2009/2010 year, concern
among club members was obvious.
It wasn’t unusual to have a turnout
of six members at club meetings.
Members were not too enthusiastic
about bringing guests.
So at the beginning of the
Toastmasters year, we created a
simple yet “sticky” slogan, 15 : 15.
It’s actually more than a slogan.
It’s a vision.
Here’s what it stood for:
• By the end of this
Toastmasters year, our goal was to
have 15 new members and an
average of 15 club members
attend every meeting.
We’ve been very transparent with
the members, and with guests.
We told them the club was at a low
point BUT we were energized to rebuild
it and confident we would.
We prioritized certain meetings in
advance for “bring a guest” nights,
and the entire membership went in
to hosting mode. Meeting size
grew and we picked up six
members in August and
September. This earned us the
Smedley Award, and morale was
growing both within the committee
as well as throughout the entire
club. We decided to pull out all the
stops.
Promo Event
We planned a special event on the
25th of October through the
intense work of our VP PR and with
the support of the rest of the
committee. The real differentiator
was that we partnered with two
key groups.
One was the Old Town Association
of Zug, who provided a beautiful
gothic venue in the heart of the
Old Town, and who promoted the
event through their channels.
The other was Zug4You, a
networking group targeting
expatriates and aligned with an
online expat news service called
The Zug Post.
Zug4You promoted the event
within its readership and
networking circles, and also
sponsored the drinks at our normal
dinner break. Toastmasters Zug
provided light dinner snacks for
guests as well as members. We
asked our existing members to
step up to the importance of the
event with prepared speeches and
roles, and they did in a big time
way.
We had 20 guests at the promo
event, many of whom even
accepted the challenge of Table
Topics. Our host from Zug Old
Town gave a small presentation
about the Old Town after the
dinner break and, during the
dinner break, asked one of our
veteran members to evaluate the
presentation.
A handful of the guests from the
promo event returned to the next
meeting, while others said they
were definitely planning to come to
future meetings.
More importantly, word has gotten
out beyond those guests, and at
the next normal club meeting, we
had a total of 10 NEW guests, one
who joined on the spot and several
others who said they were
probably going to join soon. With
guests and members, we had 27
people at that following meeting.
The morale in the club is as high as
it’s been in years. Members are
enthusiastic about bringing guests,
and guests are as enthusiastic
about returning.
We’re confident we’ll hit our
objective of 15 : 15. It’s more
than a slogan.

District Officer's interview:
Morag Mathieson, Secretary
What did you tell about
yourself in your Ice-Breaker
speech?
In my home town in Scotland when
people die it is very common for a
notice to appear in the local
newspaper to announce the death
and for friends and family to write
short comments about the person.
In my ice breaker speech I spoke
about what my friends and family
would tell the club about me. For
example- in my family I have one
brother who is 12 years older than
me. My mother would have told
the club that had I been born first,
I would definitely have been an
only child! Chiefly because as a
small child I preferred to be awake
and not asleep, unlike my brother
who loved to sleep.
My colleagues who, at my leaving
party, asked the DJ to play a
particular song that they thought
summed up my approach to work.
It was the song "It's got to be
perfect" by Fairground Attraction.
The song has the line: "Too many
people take second best, I won't
take anything less. It's got to be
perfect". As a pharmacist accuracy
in my work is really important so in
this case attention to detail is
really significant!
My previous boss at work who
named me "party girl" because
whenever she wanted to have a
team party or, teambuilding event
would always ask me to organize it
because she could trust me to
come up with something
interesting and to take care of the
details and get others involved.
How would you now introduce
yourself to the Toastmasters in
District 59?
Since my ice breaker I have
achieved Advanced Communicator
Silver and am working towards
Advanced Leader Silver. I would
tell them of the steps along the
way and how I found opportunities
to learn and develop in many
different places - the challenge of
giving a brief speech on a subject
that you know lots about which I
had to face while doing the
Advanced Manual Interpersonal
Communication, the opportunities
to pay tribute to many people who
have been important to me in
Toastmasters and beyond while
working on the Special Occasion
Speeches manual, the inspiration I
found in working with teenagers on
the Youth Leadership Program at a
local school, the steep learning
curve in organizing and chairing
the District Conference in Bamberg
with only 5 months to prepare, the
sense of satisfaction and the
realization of how much you have
learned when mentoring new
Toastmasters and training and
mentoring new club officers.
What has been the biggest
challenge during your
Toastmasters experience?
Probably being target speaker for a
German language evaluation
contest. I had never given a
speech in German at Toastmasters
before, so it was hugely nerve
wracking. I held the lectern
shaking for a few moments before
beginning to speak. By the end I
was relieved and satisfied that it
was a good speech and I had most
definitely stepped out of my
comfort zone!
It helped me appreciate what so
many Toastmasters in District 59
experience when they give
speeches in a language which is
not their native tongue.
What are your objectives for
this year as a District Officer?
As District Secretary I want to
support my fellow District Officers
with administrative skills to deliver
on the District Mission. On a
personal note I plan to complete
the Advanced Leader Silver award.

Prague Toastmasters Clubs
Showcase
Following an invitation from Andrea
Teichmannová (Queen’s Town TM)
and Pavlína Sládková, All
Committees Meeting (Co-Meet) of
the Erasmus Student Network, it
was agreed to provide a
demonstration workshop at their
event in Prague. Knowing the age
of these international students, I
thought it was appropriate to
gather together a band of our
younger Toastmasters from the
two Prague clubs.
The initiative was to provide a
forum for ESN students to gain
some fundamentals in public
speaking and presentations. We,
in turn, saw the event as an
opportunity to showcase
Toastmasters not only in the Czech
Republic but also as an
organization worthy of
consideration to gain valuable skills
in leadership and communication.
We had about 18 students from
Spain, Portugal, Poland, the
Ukraine, Slovenia and the Czech
Republic.
After a short introduction, we had
a prepared speech by Michal Juhas.
This being the first speech Michal
has given outside Bohemian TM; I
congratulate him for his poise,
confidence, and credibility. His
speech was evaluated by Honza
Buzak from Prague Speakers TM.
On completing his evaluation,
Honza invited the students to also
give Michal some feedback.
We then played a gesture game
where individuals had to read a
sentence which contained a phrase
to be gestured. This brought lots
of laughs which in turn encouraged
more animation in the following
Table Topics session. Prague
Speakers' members Jarda Sladek
first explained impromptu
speaking, then Maija Kadlecova put
us through with an interesting
Table Topics.
The session closed with a question
and answer session and some
feedback for us Toastmasters. We
all left having had fun and feeling a
sense of achievement.

Toastmasters on Stage at
the “Global Speakers
Summit 2011”
A very special opportunity for
District 59 Toastmasters is coming
in April 2011. The Global Speakers
Summit is coming to the
Netherlands! The GSS
(www.globalspeakers.net/summit)
is a once-every-two-year
conference organized by the Global
Speakers Federation
(www.globalspeakers.net) for
professional speakers from around
the world. This three-day
conference will be filled with top
professional speakers and
workshops, sessions with
meeting/conference planners and
lots of information to guide and
inspire professional speakers. It
will be held in the Netherlands in a
beautiful seaside town of
Noordwijk, just south of
Amsterdam on April 14-16, 2011.
Over 110 speakers are on the
schedule, and a number of
Toastmasters will be on the
platform! Thanks to the
partnership between Toastmasters
in NL and PSA (Professional
Speakers Association) Holland,
there are special unique
opportunities for Toastmasters at
the GSS:
• Several slots in the “S-
Factor”, a contest of three-minute
speeches, are being held for
District 59 Toastmasters. The
audience will choose the winning
speech, and the winner will receive
a speaking slot at the next PSA
Holland convention. That is quite
an honor! If you are interested in
being considered for one of the
speech slots, you must contact
Celeste Brown
(celeste@russchenberg-brown.eu)
no later than Friday December 10.
That is the latest date that the GSS
meeting planners will allow us so
don’t be late. To be considered,
you must be a fully-registered
participant of the Global Speakers
Summit.
• David Henderson, the
winner of the Toastmasters 2010
World Championship of Public
Speaking, has been invited to
speak at the conference. As of the
writing of this article, negotiations
are still underway but it is highly
probable that he will speak. What
an amazing opportunity to hear the
winner of the 2010 Toastmaster
competition here in Europe!
• A Toastmasters display will
be available throughout the
conference that will emphasize the
win-win partnership between
professional speakers associations
and Toastmasters.
The Global Speakers Summit is a
special conference, and this is the
first time it is being held in Europe.
So do your research, register for
the GSS and book your ticket to
Amsterdam! You’ll be among
friends.

How to send
attachments
To send attachments
using the easy-Speak Email
system, first you
upload your attachment
to the Forum by
creating a Topic and
adding the items to the
Topic. Each uploaded
item has its own URL
address which can be
included in your E-mail.
Or you could include the
link to the Topic post in
your E-mail. The
difference is that you
must be logged in to
view a Topic but, to
download an uploaded
item directly from its
own link; you need not
be logged in.
The big advantage with
this way of using
attachments is that you
can revise your
documents in the Club
Forum anytime and
keep the same link.
When I sent a
registration form for a
club contest, I keep
revising it as I found
ways to improve it.
Since, I had already
told everyone the link to
the registration
document, they always
downloaded the latest
version.
One word of caution.
The Club Forum is a
secure, central and
convenient place to
save important club
documents. Search
engines cannot index in
the Forum because it is
behind the login wall.

Who will receive the
meeting announcements?
The agenda e-mail system
The 'agenda e-mail' feature
allows you to send a series of emails
telling your members
about the meetings, the
assigned roles, and the vacant
roles. There are five e-mails in
the system.
First E-mail
This e-mail is a general
introduction and a reminder about
the meeting and may be sent to
some or all users of your club,
selecting them by membership
'status'.
The body of the e-mail is available
for you to edit and the reply links
are inserted automatically at the
bottom of your message.
The e-mail ends with a request to
click on one of the links to advice
on attendance. The requested
reply date is calculated
automatically from the meeting
date and the club settings.
The remaining e-mails are sent
only to members whose status
allows them to speak or to take a
role or who have already clicked on
the link to say that they will
attend.
Second E-mail
The second e-mail is sent as soon
as possible after assigning users to
roles. It thanks those that replied
to the first e-mail and advises
users that they do not have a role
at this meeting but, if the club
allows this, suggests visiting the
web-site to volunteer if someone
who has been assigned a role
drops out.
Third E-mail
The third e-mail should be sent at
the same time as you send the
second e-mail. This one asks for
confirmation to accept a specific
role, and gives the user any
comments about the role and, if
appropriate, about the location.
If you need to re-run this e-mail
after someone has refused a role
or cannot attend the meeting it will
ONLY be sent to the users newly
assigned a role. There is also an
option to resend this e-mail to
anyone that has not replied within
a selected time.
Fourth E-mail
The fourth e-mail asks for
volunteers to visit the web-site and
take roles that are not currently
assigned.
If your club settings do not allow
users to volunteer for unassigned
roles through the web-site the email
asks volunteers to contact the
VPE.
Fifth E-mail
This last email is used as a

The meeting manager is
automatically set to 'watch this
agenda for changes' and will
receive an e-mail when a user
accepts or rejects a role.

celebrates
The intention of this article is to
provide to fellow Toastmasters an
impression and insight to a real
High Performance Leadership
project (HPL). I will share some
information of my personal
Toastmasters background, the
project background, its execution,
my experience and so on.
My name is Goetz Mueller. I
attended my first Toastmasters
meeting in November 2005 and
joined a German speaking club,
Verdi Rhetorik Klub, Stuttgart in
January 2006. I have completed
the various Toastmasters education
steps.
I have served in several
Toastmasters club officers’ roles
and beyond including club
president and area governor.
The initial attempt to start an HPL
project was in 2008, when I lead a
team for translating the CL manual
into German language.
Unfortunately, that project came
up to speed so quickly that I
wasn't able to properly set-up the
HPL guidance committee and to
use the translation project for that
purpose.
The next opportunity for an HPL
project was five year charter
anniversary of my home club, the
Verdi Rhetorik Klub Stuttgart. In
December 2009 the club executive
council decided to extend a normal
Toastmasters meeting to the five
year charter anniversary
celebration and gave me the task
to run the preparation project. The
celebration meeting was decided to
run well after the summer break
on 4th October, 2010.
For the guidance committee as well
as for the project team I asked a
balanced mix of experienced
Toastmasters, new members, new
and former club officers. The
recruitment for the project team
started in December 2009 and the
last person joined mid of March
2010.
To run the project I used the five
phase model of the International
Project Management Association of
which I earned a Project Manager
certificate in 2009.
The first phase - project initiation -
was the already described decision
in December 2009 to have the
celebration meeting.
The second phase - project
definition - was the recruitment of
the project team and outlining the
"look and feel" of the celebration in
collaboration with the club officers.
This was done in April.
Most of the project work was done
in the third phase - project
planning. Tasks comprised to book
the meeting venue, to order the
catering, to invite the guest and
keynote speakers, and to set up
the agenda for the celebration
meeting. The final steps of the
planning were taken in September
when the expected number of
participants and guests was known

for ordering the right amount of
finger food.
As long as the planning phase was
as short was the fourth phase -
project execution - which was the
celebration meeting itself on 4th
October 2010. The evening of the
4th October was split in the final
preparation of the venue and
catering, get-together of
participants and guests, the
meeting itself according to an
ordinary TM meeting agenda, and
the final serving of food and
beverage with small talk between
attendees.
The final and fifth phase - project
conclusion - consisted of a
feedback request from the project
team members and the payment of
the catering bills.
During the project we were facing
several challenges. One of them
was to keep the motivation on a
high level due the quite long
duration of the planning phase
from May to September. Another
was virtuality as more
communication was by email than
by meeting face to face. Then, a
person left the team because of
the personal workload in other
areas. It was also a challenge to
get responses to the invitations we
had sent out to club members and
guests.
Apart of the challenges we also
had some failures. Unfortunately,
we were not able to get any
representatives of the German-
American associations in the
Stuttgart area nor the visit of a
camera crew from a local TV
station although we were quite
close to it. This was mainly caused
by the more publicly interesting
incidents regarding Stuttgart 21
that spoiled our plans in that
direction.
However and fortunately the
celebration meeting was very well
received from all participants
including the area governor from
Karlsruhe. We got very positive
feedback for all the aspects of the
meeting including the keynote
speeches by the head of the
municipal culture office and the
regional head of the union that
host our meetings. We also had a
story in a local event guide and
some online press releases.
In conclusion, the HPL project was
a very interesting experience, quite
different from an ordinary project
management perspective, mainly
due to the non-profit and informal
environment in which the project
was running. I would like to
encourage all fellow Toastmasters
to use not only the communication
track of the Toastmasters
educational program but also the
leadership track with its different
but similarly useful parts of which
the High Performance Leadership
program is an important final stage.
My next and final step to earn the
DTM award is the foundation of a
new Toastmaster club in the
Stuttgart area for which we clearly
have the potential regarding the
number of inhabitants in the area.
