Meeting: 27th November At Edendale Farm Meeting: 4 December In addition to his commitment to Toastmasters, Graham is a member of the Rotary Club of Albury Hume and current treasurer of District 9790. The ‘Traffic Lights’ demonstrated by Graham elicited a lot of interest in the way they are used to curtail speakers who lose track of their allotted time slots. These are a timing device and for a 5 to 7 minute speech the green light is set to come on after 5 minutes. The middle yellow light replaces it at the 6 minute mark and finally the red light at the top comes on when 7 minutes are up. At this point the speaker has only 30 seconds to wrap up. It seems that if this warning sequence is ignored the speaker will be interrupted by someone walking up to the microphone and actually stopping proceedings with a reminder that time is up! A tempting thought sometimes. Graham spoke about the ‘3 Rs of Evaluating’ process which is at the core of every presentation at Toastmasters and on which speakers depend for information, help and development. Negative criticism is not part of the process. Instead, the focus is on positive aspects of a talk as well as suggestions for improvement. The 3 Rs are Review, Reward and Respond. The Review looks at whether the speaker accomplished what he/she set out to do whilst the Reward praises very specific aspects of a presentation. The Respond part of an evaluation Rotary Club of Eltham: www.rotaryeltham.org.au User name is Rotary Password is Fellowship This meeting is at Strada. Toastmasters International is a non-profit educational organisation which grew out Meeting: 11 December of the Smedley Chapter One Club. This Xmas Party- at Wellers with Greg Champiwas founded in 1924 at the YMCA in on of the Coodabeens. Santa Ana, California and was destined to become the first Toastmasters club. This meeting is at Wellers, Kangaroo Ground. Since incorporation in 1932 clubs are now operated on a world-wide basis, the primary goal being to assist members to build, and improve on, their communication, public speaking and leadership skills. Graham informed us that there are now approximately 313,000 members of Toastmasters across 126 countries. The Internet Eltham Festival: www.elthamfestival.org.au Facebook: www.facebook.com/rotaryeltham analyses what was heard (language, grammar, pauses), what was seen (gestures, body language, eye contact), and what was felt (empathy, emotion). The second speaker, Greg Hayes, is a charter member (1976) of Diamond Valley Toastmasters. This club has 26 members with an even gender mix and an age range of from 25 years to 70 years +. Meetings are held on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Mondays of each month at 7.30pm at the Eltham Bowling Club. Participants give impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings and develop skills relating to time-keeping, grammar and parliamentary procedures. There are no formal instructors; members evaluate one another, a feedback process which is key to the program’s success. Greg shared with us his lack of self confidence in public speaking dating back many years to when he was prevailed upon to make a speech at his brother’s wedding. Since that experience he has strongly recommended Toastmasters to anyone wishing to improve their communication skills, particularly young people commencing their careers and facing interviews. Greg’s wife has been a member of Diamond Valley Toastmasters since 1998 and has, he reports, discovered a considerable and previously unsuspected talent as a speaker. The Diamond Valley club provided a speaker (Roxanne Glans) for the Rotary Club of Eltham Anzac Day dawn service and from all accounts did an outstanding job. We thank Graham and Greg for their time in joining us here at Eltham and sharing with us their experiences of Toastmaster membership.

One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read Dear God, I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope... Can you please help me? the letter was opened. Club Meets: It read: Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it might have been those bastards at the post office.

He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while Thursday 6:15 for 6:45pm At Cons Camping Ground Tech Talk Murphy says to Paddy, "What ya talkin into an envelope for?" "I'm sending a voicemail ya fool!"
