It is January, the start of a new year. The heroics in Toastmasters crosses a threshold this month. It takes at least eight members to make a club receive PAID status and be eligible to participate in Toastmasters activities. Division H has several clubs with the ineligible status but today, January 22nd, two of those clubs overcame the barriers and moved to paid become eligible.

WOO HOO

Congratulations to Downtown Soul Speakers and Downtown Over Achievers on their new status. Carolyn Moore, Scott Kavanaugh and Chris Craddock joined or reinstated to put both clubs over the top. What an awesome job of achieving this just as the second round of renewals gets underway.

On the Speech Contest of things, Antone Chicca is representing Golden Empire in the International Contest. Pedro Estrada will be representing Golden Empire Overachievers in their Area contest. Congratulations to both members on this accomplishment. Looking forward to seeing you in the winner’s circle.

My heart is pounding with excitement at these wins this week. What awesome news. Keep up the great work moving clubs and members forward.
