District Director's Message
August 2015

Dear Fellow Toastmasters,

How are you? Although only a month has just passed, there were already many activities done, such as:

1.     Changing of club leadership. Many clubs have conducted Installation Ceremonies for new club officers, taking stock of the past, and preparing for the new term.

2.     Club officers training conducted by all Divisions.

3.     Leaders sharing their visions and goals at club, area, division and district level.

How about you? As a club member, do you have the vision to achieve your goal for the new term 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016? What are the things you will accomplish to improve yourself in order to have “better thinking, better listening, better speaking” abilities for yourself?

We have many exciting recognition program for each of you in your educational achievement. Achieve it!
Please refer to: http://www.district80.org/pqd.htm

Dear Club EXCO members,

Our members stay in their clubs because they like each other and they are leaning together… quoted by founder, Dr. Ralph C. Smedley.

Club leaders play an important role to help create the learning environment conducive for our members; it is achievable if we “make members matter”. If you have not attended the Club Officers Training 1, there is another opportunity for you to attend the District Make-Up COT1 on 29 August. More details are in our district website (Events): http://www.district80.org/events.htm

It is important to have regular EXCO Meetings to first, set your goals and then, work with your team to achieve success together by the end of the term. Learn about club management by checking it out at: http://www.district80.org/cm.htm

Recruiting members will add more value to your club. Consider organising a Speechcraft. Not only will it attract more new members, but it will also provide the opportunity for your existing members to have a platform to hone their leadership skills. Club Growth Director has created an incentive for your recruitment drive. Please refer to: http://www.district80.org/cgd.htm
Attend the Club Growth Workshop on 30/8: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/make-members-matters-tickets-17978562364 and the entrance fees includes not only high-tea, but also each attendance will receive Speechcraft Coordinator’s Guide and Speechcraft Workbook.

We have also posted Speech Contests material for our your use. Please check it out at: http://www.district80.org/event_speech_contest_material.htm

Also, please remember to start collecting membership due in August.

Dear Club Presidents,

As CEO of the club, have a personal vision, then, set your goals to achieve the best for the club. If you were a distinguished club last term, why not aim higher to achieve select distinguished this term? If you have missed the distinguished club status last term, work towards achieving it this term. Plan now, start early and you will have a very rewarding term for your club as well. You Can Do It!

About Proxy Vote at the International Convention
To date only 81 out of 208 (39%) Club Presidents or Secretaries have assigned their proxies online at Club Central of www.toastmasters.org  for voting of the various positions at Toastmasters International. If you have any problem login or you have any questions related to assigning of a proxy, please let us know.

Dear Area Directors,

By now, you must have already connected with your clubs. And, with the re-alignment procedure done this term of having only 4 clubs per area, the area directors can serve the clubs better. Weak clubs will be given more attention to help them achieve more for the new term, ensuring that there will be no club loss, and/or rebuilding them as soon as possible.

Please prepare the Area Visit Report as soon as you visit each club under your areas. Know what help they need to ensure that the clubs remain in good standing and successful.  Do not hesitate to contact your Division Director or Club Growth Director for advice and assistance.

Dear Division Directors,

Thank you for organising the First Club Officers Training.  Together with your council, the time schedule for the full term has commenced. With only 5 areas (except 3 for Division T and 6 for Division L) and only 20 or less clubs this term, let us expand the division by chartering new clubs. Aim to charter at least 2 clubs, with no loss club and support weak clubs for the division to achieve President Distinguished Division.

District Incentive:
This term, our Senior District Officers are working hard in creating more incentives to encourage and motivate the individual members, clubs, areas & divisions to reach greater heights!

亲爱的会友们：大家好！

上任至今，只有短短的一个月，可是，我们已经开展了许多项活动，例如：

1.分会领导层的更替——许多分会已经为新执委举行了交接与就职典礼，检讨过去，展望未来，并为将来的会务，准备就绪。

2.各个区际都为已经分会执委提供培训。

3.领导人都已经跟分会、分区、区际和区域执委们，分享他们的愿景和目标。

身为分会会友，在这新的一届（从2015年7月31日到2016年6月30日）里，您有什么愿景？要达到什么目标？您要取得哪些成就？您要如何提升自己的能力，使自己“更会思考、更会聆听、更会讲话”？ 

我们为大家准备了许多激励人心的表彰方案，提供教育和学习，达到相关目标。请点击: http://www.district80.org/pqd.htm

亲爱的分会执委：

国际讲演会创办人斯梅德利博士说过：“我们的会员之所以会留在会内，就因为他们彼此喜欢在一起学习。”

分会领导人在协助创造有利的学习环境方面，扮演着重要的角色，如果大家坚守“会员为尊”的信念，各项目标必定可以达成。假设您还没有参加“执委培训（一）”，还有下一个机会，欢迎参加定于8月29日举行的“区域执委培训（一）补课”。欲知详情，请点击区域网站（节目）：http://www.district80.org/events.htm

重点是：首先，执委们必须定期开会，设定目标，然后通过集体协作，齐心协力在任期届满之前，成功达到相关目标。有关管理分会的资料，请参阅：http://www.district80.org/cm.htm

招募新会友入会，将给贵会增值。您可考虑主办口才训练班，吸收更多新会员，同时给现有的会友提供机会和平台，强化领导才能。分会增员总监已经出台了一项奖励计划，鼓励贵会开展招募新会员的活动。请点击以下网站：http://www.district80.org/cgd.htm

我们也在网上发布演讲比赛的资料，供您使用。请参阅：http://www.district80.org/event_speech_contest_material.htm

此外，请记得在8月份向会友们收取会费。

亲爱的会长：

您身为分会的总裁，必须具备个人愿景，设定目标，为贵会争取最佳成绩。如果贵会在上一届达到卓越分会的目标，本届何不把目标定得更崇高，争取成为特选卓越分会？假设上一届贵会错过成为卓越分会的目标，本届就应该努力朝着这个目标前进。请现在就拟订计划，越早越好，贵会肯定获益匪浅。你，一定行！

委任代理人在国际大会上投票

截至今天，208个分会当中，只有81个分会 (39%) 的会长或秘书，已经在www.toastmasters.org   的分会中心，通过上网的方式指派其代理人，投票选出国际讲演组织的各个职位。如果您在登录时碰到困难，或者在指派代理人的问题上有任何疑问，请您通知我们。

亲爱的分区总监：

截至今天，相信您已经跟属下的分会，建立良好的关系。本届的分会经过重新整编之后，每个分区只有4个分会，因此，分区总监能够给属下分会提供更好的服务。弱会在本届将受到更好的照顾，我们将协助弱会取得更大的成就，确保我们不会丧失任何分会，我们也会尽快改造和重建弱会。

您访问了属下分会之后，请尽快填写《分区访会报告》，好让我们知道各个分会需要什么样的协助，确保有关分会保持良好的声誉和取得成功。您如果需要协助，请马上联系区际总监或市场总监，欢迎询问。

亲爱的区际总监：

感谢您主办分会执委培训一，本届讲演会由上到下的全年工作时间表，已经正式启动。除了L区有6个分区之外，其他区际属下只有5个分区 (20个或更少的分会) ，因此，请大家创立新分会来扩大本区域。我们的目标是每个区际至少要创立2个分会，并且支持弱会，使贵区成为会长级卓越区。

本届的区域资深领袖将想方设法推出更多奖励制度，鼓舞和激励个别会员、分会、分区和区际，再创高峰!
