F ear is a crippling phenomenon! Most of us have encountered fear at some

point in our lives. Some of us are constantly haunted by a disabling phobia of

one kind or another. Amazingly, most of our trepidations are all in the mind and can

be rather daunting if we allow them to flourish.

Let me share with you my recent encounter with

fear. At 9:00 AM on March 23 I showed up at a local hospital to register for what is considered a

routine examination but one that most people

(especially men) fear – the dreaded colonoscopy.

My personal physician advised me to have one

done at age 50 and for nearly four years I’ve been

“dodging the bullet” - claiming to be too busy.

Due to a history of cancer in my family I decided

it’s time to “man up” – or so I thought!

During the preceding 48 hours known as the prep

period, my mind began to play its usual tricks on

me. That whispering voice in my head proceeded

to tell me every reason why I should not go on

with the procedure. It told me everything that

could go wrong and practically every good reason why this was a bad idea. Upon

arrival at the hospital, I was so happy that the parking lot was full to capacity. Ah,

good reason to go back home! This thought was quickly interrupted by a tap on my

car window. The security guard directed me to the overflow parking area. As I

walked toward the building my fear mounted with each step as the whispering in my

head became more intense. When I arrived on the inside I was enthusiastically

greeted by a waiting medical team. As if by magic, my anxiety level immediately began

to lower. Before they attempted to start any procedures they sat with me and

walked me through every step of the process. They knew that if they were to stand a

chance of making my fears dissipate they must first show me support and

encouragement. Within minutes they had me feeling comfortable. The reassurance

that I had the best doctors along with a competent and caring support team at my

service reinstated my confidence. They rolled me into the “OR” and the last thing I

remembered was the countdown as the anesthesiologist made me repeat after her, 10

– 9 – 8 – 7 – 6…! It’s now 12 hours post procedure and here I am writing this article.

Obviously there was nothing to fear; it was just a state of mind!

What fears are crippling you from progressing in Toastmasters, in your civic involvements, your relationships, your businesses and in your careers? It took me

three years to complete the Competent Toastmaster (CTM) manual, now Competent

Communicator (CC) - because of fear! Almost every time the VPE scheduled me to

Facing fear; It’s all in the mind!

speak I caught an imaginary flu. You see, the real virus was –

FEAR! What was it that helped me through those early

challenges in Toastmasters? It was the same mechanisms that

helped to suppress my fears in the “OR.” The support, the

encouragement, the coaching and mentoring – that’s what made

the difference. It’s usually all we need to boost our confidence

and propel us over the speed bumps in the road to success.

Fellow Toastmasters, don’t wait until fear tries to cripple you.

Be proactive and reach out for help now - Seek a mentor! They

will support you and help you to reaffirm your self-confidence.

Your Club Officers and District Leaders are here to serve you

and to help you grow in the program and in your personal life. They will help you to disable your fears and enable your talents

and abilities. Meanwhile, if you have already mastered how to

conquer your fears then you have an obligation to pass it on by

extending a hand to someone else. Help a Toastmaster, family

member, business associate or friend to fight off the grip that fear

has on their life! In the words of Zig Zigler, “The best way to get

what you want out of life - is to help enough other people get

what they want out of life!” That’s the way it is in Toastmasters

- Where Leaders Are Made.

Toastfully,

CLUB CHARTER

ANNIVERSARIES

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary greetings

are extended to the following clubs. Thank you

for your contribution to the growth and success

of District 47. On behalf of District Governor

Tony Longley, the District Executive Committee,

and all members across South Florida and Islands

of The Bahamas, we wish you a successful,

President’s Distinguished Year!

H appy Spring! Spring is a great time of year for growth and

rebirth. For Toastmasters, it is a time to plant new leaders, help new

and current members grow and gear up to PARTY!

Club Elections

Club elections for all clubs should be held the first meeting in May. This means

that now is the time to have your nominating committee working to recruit

and select the officers who will take your club into the next year.

Here are a few suggestions that can help make your leadership team strong:

· Look for your newer members who are enthusiastic and have fresh ideas

to be part of your leadership team.

· Look to strong members to anchor the team as Vice President Education

and President

· Don’t burn out your members by using them over and over again.

· Be sure that you have a new president. Remember that the President is the one position that is not supposed to serve

more than 12 months at a time.

· Plan the transition after the election. How are you going to transition the club to the new team instead of just handing

them the reins on July 1st and wishing them luck?

· Remind officers that they are expected to attend training in the Summer AND Winter to support the success of the

club. The first Trainings will be in June and information will be out next month.

Mentoring

Mentoring is a critical part of any club Education Program. It is the responsibility of the Vice President Education to ensure

that the mentoring program is happening. They can, and I would even suggest should, have other club members who help to

make sure this is happening. The VPE has a big job, and it is easy to say “we’ll all just help the new members” and not assign

individual mentors. But new members aren’t the only ones that need mentoring!

Here are some tips for helping all members grow:

· Existing Members

o Members are renewing right now for the next 6 months. Find out what they want to accomplish in the

next 6 months and pair them up with someone who is strong in the areas they are seeking help in.

o Call the members who are not renewing and find out why? This is the Vice President Membership’s role,

but what is being done with the information? If you assigned them a mentor, would they stay on?

· New Members

Developing strong leadership requires thought, fresh ideas

5

· New Members

o Understand that when “everyone” helps, often “no one” actually does. Assign one person to be the official

mentor, and then everyone can help mentor.

o New members need the individual attention. Telling them to call anyone often means they don’t call

anyone at all.

o In my experience, the members who join and leave shortly thereafter did so because they did not get the

mentoring they needed and felt lost.

Remember that you want your members working on their Competent

Leader Manuals as well as their speaking manuals, and one of the

requirements is to mentor a new or existing member. Everyone in the club

can help someone and help themselves at the same time.

Did I say PARTY?

You bet I did! April 24-26 is our Spring Conference and you don’t want to

miss out! This is our Diamond Jubilee year, and we are putting together a

Dazzling program for you!

· President Elect Jim Kokocki will be visiting the Bahamas for 4 days

before returning to Florida as our Guest of Honor at the conference. He

will be our Key Note speaker on Friday night, and will do two educational

sessions during the weekend.

· Friday night is the Opening Ceremony and Table Topics Contest

Dinner Event

· Saturday morning we will be offering twelve workshops on a range of subjects from speech writing and leadership to

running and judging contests. There is also a special event for all First Timers at 8 AM, so don’t miss that if this is your first

conference.

· Saturday lunch is a Birthday Party! We have several Past District 47 Governors who will be in attendance and we will be

celebrating 60 years of success as a District.

· Saturday afternoon is the Annual Business Meeting. This is your opportunity to elect the officers who will run the

District for 2015-2016. Proxy information will be coming out soon so that you can ensure that your club has a vote!

· Saturday night is the Governor’s Gala! This will be our International Speech Contest and DTM Walk. Dress it up and

come out for an amazing night.

· OK, so where’s the PARTY? Both nights, after dinner, we will have an After Party! Dancing, Story Telling and a cash bar

are just some of the highlights. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer.

Developing strong leadership requires thought, fresh ideas

6

· Sunday morning will be the final event with DTM Jim

Kokocki doing a workshop for all who wish to attend.

Now for the important details. If you want to come, you

have to register online at

www.toastmastersd47.org. There is NO On-site

registration, and we expect to sell out, so be sure to

register before midnight on April 14th!

Incentives

Your clubs have all been working hard this year to meet

your goals, and we want to reward you. Every club

President has received an email with their club incentive

points and a form to send in. Please be sure that you get

that form turned in NO LATER THAN April 10th so that

you can receive the prizes that benefit your club

most. Any club earning points that does not submit a form

by that date will receive the default prizes noted on the form.

Keep pursuing excellence, and let’s end the year where we know we belong, ON TOP!

Thank You,

“In this game, if you’re not getting better every day, then you’re falling behind.”

Ryan Vogelsong, San Francisco Giants

It’s a time for veterans to assess their past performance and realign their

goals in the face of actual results. It’s a time for new members to

showcase their value and talents as they vie for spots on the team or

positions of greater importance. It’s a time for all to continue to hone

their strengths and address their areas of improvement based on

feedback.

Sounds like Spring Training, right? Well, it is. Spring Training for

Toastmasters! This is a great time for your club to take stock of your

achievements to date, to realign your goals, if necessary, based on

performance to date, and to continue, or begin, succession planning. As we head into the last quarter of the Toastmaster’s cycle, the focus is on

educational and membership growth goals.

To date, over 65 clubs have paid (at least) the minimum number of

membership dues to maintain good standing. Congratulations! If you have

not yet paid your membership dues, please do so soon to avoid jeopardizing your club’s good standing. Don’t wait

until the March 31 deadline!

The Membership Building campaigns are in full swing:

Talk Up Toastmasters has brought in almost 150 new members in February! Thank you for spreading the

word and continue to do so until the end of the campaign on March 31.

The Annual Membership Program, which runs for the full year, from July 1 to June 30, has brought in

hundreds of new members thus far. Way to go District 47!

Many clubs have conducted Open Houses over the past few months. The District 47 Open House incentive of

$25 is still available to help you offset costs. Get new members for your club and a check in the mail! Just

follow these simple steps:

Provide me (lbrown@toastmastersd47.org) with information about your Open House at least two weeks

prior to the event (the earlier the better), including a copy of your event flyer and your plans for

spending the money.

Within two weeks after the event, send me a copy of your guest sign-in sheet.

Complete a district expense reimbursement form (supplied upon request), attach receipts totaling up to

$25, and submit these items to the district.

The $25 incentive will be available for Open Houses conducted until May 31.

Toastmasters, it’s our time for Spring Training

Toastmasters, it’s our time for Spring Training

Many clubs have already taken advantage of these programs. Don’t be left out! One last campaign will be taking

place soon. Don’t miss all the details in the next Sunshiner.

New clubs means that additional people in our geographic region can share in the amazing benefits of the

Toastmasters program. Please welcome Wynwood Inspire.Us Toastmasters to our growing District 47

family. Wynwood chartered on February 9 in Division E, Area 50.

Do you work for a company with 100 or more employees at a single location? Does your company have a

Toastmasters club? If not, think about starting one. Whatever product or service your company delivers, effective

communication and leadership skills are necessary for professional growth. Many members of District 47 are dual

members of community and corporate clubs which provides them with additional opportunities to develop their

skills. Starting a new club is not as hard as it sounds. Contact me directly (lbrown@toastmastersd47.org) for details

Toastmasters greet

each other during

the annual Ladies

night held at Super

Clubs Breezes,

west Bay Street.

With members

saying this was one

of the greatest ever

CLUB 1600 TOASTMASTERS Publication Date

It may be an understatement to say

that Paul Finkelstein has caught the

Toastmasters bug. Perhaps the bug

caught him.

Whatever the case, Toastmaster

Finkelstein has been busy within his

club, division and district. At the fall

conference he served as an official

photographer. He also has lent his

considerable photography skills to other contests, and on the division

and district Facebook pages.

Recently, he scored an achievement of which he is most proud.

After a whopping six months, he earned the competent

communicator designation. As of March 16, he has completed two

advanced speeches. Congratulations, Paul!

On Monday, Feb. 23, Delray Newsmakers

celebrated the club's 20th anniversary!

Dignitaries and past club members stopped by

to say hello and to celebrate with us.

Dignitaries included Mike Thorn, DTM &

Division C Governor; Lou Brown,,DTM & Lt

Gov Marketing, District 47; Hieu Huynh, DTM;

and Chim Francisco DTM & past Division C

Governor. Club alumni members in

attendance were Jerry Fernandez ,DTM, and

Terri Karst. We were quite honored to have

FIVE DTM’s with us for the evening.

During brief, Table Topics-style presentations,

the dignitaries each congratulated us, shared

memories, and encouraged us to look towards

the future (and of course, to continue

learning). Martha Drescher, Area Governor,

led the entre meeting in a wonderful one word

Table Topics session. Thanks to the planning

team led by Caroni O’Kelly, for organizing this

event.

During the regular meeting, we were both

entertained and educated on topics ranging

from Black History Month, to Immigration to

Negotiations and a very challenging one word

Table Topics session.

Our experienced club members performed

very well – even with all of the very

accomplished guests in the audience.

Overall, it was a memorable, fun and inspiring

meeting. The club truly is blessed and

appreciates all the support that we receive

from the Division and District. The club

members are energized by this milestone

achievement and are working hard towards

their next individual achievement. The club will

achieve President’s Distinguished again this

year – 8th year in a row and is looking forward

to another 20 years of Toastmasters fun and

learning!

T he Marketing Department of Toastmasters District 47 is responsible for all aspects of marketing, club-

building, and member- and club-retention efforts within the district. This includes defining an overall

marketing strategy for the district, developing outreach and retention efforts with existing community and corporate

clubs, and penetrating new markets. Additionally, the marketing area supports challenged clubs and helps them to

become Distinguished.

The marketing strategy guides the district in meeting membership and club-growth objectives. The team is led by

the Lt. Governor Marketing who, with the approval of the District

Governor, appoints members to chair marketing committees. The Committee Chairs help the Lt. Governor Marketing design,

develop, and implement district marketing projects. Together, the

marketing team creates a strong club-building program by

appointing club sponsors and mentors for new clubs and club

coaches and advocates for existing clubs that are struggling. Our

mission is to build new clubs and support all clubs in achieving

excellence in the Distinguished Club Program.

Helping Others Helps Ourselves

The marketing team needs you! Several clubs in District 47 are struggling with low membership and need the help of

experienced, knowledgeable Toastmasters to survive. Several prospective clubs are in the midst of being formed and

need the help of enthusiastic, well-informed Toastmasters to succeed. If you are not yet a DTM, you will need to

serve as a club sponsor, mentor or coach in order to satisfy the DTM requirements. If you are a DTM, you will

receive enormous satisfaction helping fledgling or struggling clubs succeed in their quest to become Distinguished.

Training is required to serve in these roles and will be offered at all upcoming Toastmasters Leadership Institute

(TLI) events. Please see the district website – d47.toastmastersdistricts.org – for more information on TLIs, including

dates and schedules. Please contact the Lt. Governor Marketing at lbrown@toastmastersd47.org if you have any

other questions or need more information.

Consider being a club sponsor, mentor, coach or advocate – you won’t regret it. Your help today will positively

impact generations of Toastmasters to come!

Marketing team needs you!
