Tips on Having a Successful Membership Drive AND a Successful Club
By Joyce McDowell, ACB - ALB Joyce has been a Toastmaster since October 2014. She says, “In 2015-16, I had the privilege of being an Assistant Area Director (AAD) for Tina Kubicek, DTM. She was my Mentor through my first three speeches, President of Exchange Park Toastmasters, Area Director, and a Club Coach to TravTalk Toastmasters. We supported seven Clubs that year. Being an AAD, gave me the chance to watch and learn from the dynamics of each Club. My below observations are what have helped me as a Toastmaster. Do you like working with children? Are you already involved in a Youth Leadership Program or Gavel Club somewhere in District 55? We are building a directory of current Clubs and YLP programs and would love to hear from you.

Congratulations to the following clubs who renewed 80% of the July 1 membership base by September 15 (Early Bird Award). We also had 118 clubs who added between one and five new members by August 31.
Please Note: We also had 22 clubs who earned Membership Drive awards for holding an Open House or other type of membership drive in the first two months. We are working diligently to bring your eBuck$ awards to you. District 55 currently provides support for a Youth Leadership Program (YLP) at Northside Independent School District in San Antonio. This year we have requests from nine NISD high schools that are conducting a total of nineteen classes.
We are currently seeking volunteers to fill a variety of time slots starting in late September through early November. Volunteers receive credit for conducting a Youth Leadership Program (YLP) upon completion of the 8-week (1 hour) programs. Harlan Blumenthal is the new Internal Speakers Bureau (ISB) Chair focused on helping existing and newly-chartered Clubs. He is looking for members who are subject matter experts (SMEs) to help struggling Clubs by presenting workshops on topics helpful to these Clubs. These SMEs might also be presenting speeches to new Clubs to teach them how to run smoothly and successfully.
