The 2009-2010 season for Speakeasy Toastmasters is drawing to a close and the final meeting of the year, to which all are welcome, will be held on the 27th May, at our usual venue, the Hibernian Hotel, Mallow, commencing at 8:00pm. This year, a number of our members will be achieving educational awards, based on the number of manual speeches delivered. The Competent Communicator award is bestowed on Toastmasters who complete the basic manual of ten speeches. Subsequent educational awards are based on completing advanced manuals, with five speeches in each manual. The Advanced Communicator Bronze is awarded for completing two advanced manuals, the Advanced Communicator Silver is awarded for completing a further two advanced manuals and the Advanced Communicator Gold is achieved when another pair of advanced manuals are completed.
Organizational achievements are acknowledged by leadership awards. The Competent Leader award recognizes members who have performed meeting duties, such as timekeeper, the Advanced Leader Bronze recognizes Toastmasters who have served on the Club Committee while the Advanced Leader Gold recognizes Toastmasters who have taken up leadership positions outside of their club. Toastmasters who achieve both the Advanced Communicator Gold and Advanced Leader Gold are eligible for the Distinguished Toastmaster Award (DTM). Former and current members of Speakeasy Toastmasters who achieved the DTM include Joe O’ Connor, Matt Lawlee and Pat Sexton. Further details about the club are available from our website, www.speakeasytoastmasters.com, which features a blog containing our press release archive, or from Ray at 086-3675706.
