Can you Read The Info
Byte?
Well, maybe,
sort of...We have determined that some Email readers are dated and
makes the Info Byte look really ugly!!!
Never fear, the Geeks are here!
Our third copy of the news byte will be uploaded to our
club website soonest. When it is uploaded, everyone will get a
message with a link in it for the online version of this news byte.
The link will let everyone read the Info Byte as intended.
We have found that everyone's web
browser can correctly read and display Info Bytes. Later this
week someone will try to teach me how to upload and work the news
byte on our website. They told me just a half hour or so of
instruction and I will be humming. Hummmmm?? You have got to be kidding
me!!! |

September is dues time! Keep an eye out for your $22 invoice
for your semi-annual dues for the club. If you recall, $18
of that goes to International, $4 stays with our club. Even
if you just joined, dues are "due" again - they were
pro-rated when you joined to a low of $3.00 for some
new members.
Our dues payment &
membership list is due by the end of September at International
Headquarters, so take immediate action when you see the invoice. We
must have the information and payment to International on time to
qualify for the Distinguished Club Program, so do your part to help
the club!
If you have questions
regarding your invoices, contact me at treasurer@whitehall-toastmasters.org |

Our Public Relations plan
for this year includes a grass-roots marketing campaign
to be conducted with the assistance of each and every member.
At the Aug 27 meeting, I'll have marketing kits available for
each member, which will include the following tools:
- Personalized Toastmaster
business cards Every member
will receive 10 cards to start, more later as you need them
(we are on a tight budget, after all). If you didn't receive
an email request for information, email me at publicrelations@whitehall-toastmasters.org.
- Bookmarks - Do
you spend any time at libraries, bookstores or other public
places? Every member will receive a set of 10 bookmarks.
- Posters/flyers - To
post at work & local merchants. Many merchants, large
and small, will allow you to pin up posters or flyers for
non-profit purposes (Toastmasters is a non-profit club under
IRS 501(c)3 rules).
- Buttons - "Ask
me about Toastmasters" and other slogans on an attractive
2-3/4" pin-on-button turns you into a walking billboard
for Toastmasters. A perfect excuse for giving away those
business cards!
- Newsletter - Speak
UP! August edition will be included in the packet.
If I have time, I'll get extra copies printed for you
to leave in conspicuous locations, like the break room at
work, pin up on the bulletin board in the HR dept., etc.
Included with your kit will be
guidelines for effective placement of flyers, business
cards, newsletters and bookmarks. If everyone does their part,
and we do this 3-4 times a year, we should have a steady stream
of prospective (and hopefully, NEW) members coming in the
door!
