TOASTMASTERS
CLUB # 995942
Collegiate Energy Joins Area 16! |
Rah! Rah! Rollins College has a very
dynamic and ambitious Center for Leadership Development!
Dr. Susan Bach, Executive
Director for the Center (left) received a request from one of her
students, Rosa
Jauregui-Andrews, to form a Toastmasters Club at the College. "I was
a member of Toastmasters several years ago, and really miss the helpful
feedback that you normally don't find in any classroom" Rosa told
Dr Bach.
Next to Dr. Bach, are the students who got this club off the ground (Rosa
Jauregui-Andrews,
Steven Matthews and Jonathan Marney). At far right, is Club Sponsor
and Orlando Conqueror's member, Alan Brents.
Sponsoring or Mentoring a new club, also
completes one of the many requirements a member needs to achieve the
highest designation that Toastmasters International imparts on its
members... Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM)! We wish you well on
this endeavor Alan. Your experience and energy will be highly
appreciated as this club forms! |

KICKOFF MEETING
October 17, 2006 - HUGE SUCCESS! |
 Due
to instant overcrowding, the "Kickoff" meeting for Rollins College had
to be quickly relocated to a larger venue. Even then, the room was
nearly "Standing Room Only".
That says a lot for the ambition of Rollins College students as they
attended the first meeting of Toastmasters. Soon, the Business
Students will have their own Chartered club, where they can attend on a
weekly basis.
In addition to the communication skills they learn through the club,
they will also receive additional educational credit for holding the
various Club Officer positions.

When you start with the BEST, chances are...
you're going to BE the best! What a way to start off a Kickoff
meeting, than with your best foot forward? Orlando Conquerors Club
#1066 brought some of the finest "guns" in the East. |
Karl Righter, a 40 year veteran of Toastmasters, Past District
Governor, and Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) gave a talk about "Four
Letter Words" that will affect your future in sales (SELL vs HELP).
|
Tammy
Gappen, the Past President of the Conquerors Club, and Assistant Attorney
for Orange County, offered suggestions for improvement, as she
demonstrated evaluation techniques. |
Paula Hickman,
Area 33 Governor, not only conducted the
Table Topics
(impromptu) portion of the meeting, but she also informed the students
about how Toastmasters helped her succeed in the Business world.
|
Jo Ellen Taylor,
(one of the top 3 Auctioneers in the World and spokesperson for
Monster.com) also demonstrated a technique for evaluation that she
learned from fellow member, Andrew Greenstein.
We all learn from each other, and grow from passing the knowledge.
|
Students listened intently to speeches
and evaluations of experienced Toastmasters.
The techniques learned through the programs
of this worldwide organization, will help these students succeed in the
business world. |
Students immediately got involved to the event by
participating in the Table Topic (impromptu) portion of the meeting.
A range of subject were given to the participants, who then were to
present a one to two minute speech.
Each student that spoke, already had confidence
and clarity. This club will be one to watch in future
Speech Contests!
|
It's all a matter of
timing, students
learn, as timing lights are used to help speakers gauge the length of
their talks.
|
Alan Brents, addressed the group throughout the
meeting. Alan will be in constant contact with the new Club, as
their appointed Sponsor. Starting a new club is exciting and
challenging. If you'd like more information, please

Crummer @ Rollins Club meets on alternate
Tuesdays from 5:15pm-6:15pm in Building #47 as marked on this drawing.
