Quotation of the Month: by Marianne Williamson

Our Greatest Fear

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?                                            
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Article of the Month: How to Write an Inspirational Speech

The first meeting of Toastmasters was held in 1924.

Toastmasters became incorporated in 1932.

They developed a manual, then a curriculum, several more manuals, published a periodical, and then..

The first woman joined Toastmasters in 1973. Her name was Helen Blanchard.

She joined under the name of Homer.

A few years later, the by-laws were amended to permit women to become members of the club.

I joined Toastmasters in 2009. In just 9 months, I have made 10 speeches, and completed the Competant Communicator manual. The last speech is the inpirational speech.
