Individual Contest

Why Did You Join Toastmasters? For most members it's because someone invited them to a meeting. What about you? Have you invited anyone to your club meeting lately? Think of the people you know who should join Toastmasters. Make a list, speak with each one and invite them to your next meeting. No need to be shy. Think of what Toastmasters has done for you. The same can be said for many others, now and in the future. Give them the opportunity!
Consider this: You encourage five people to join, they each encourage five people to join, who each encourage five people to join...over the space of a few years, your invitation can positively affect hundreds of people. Aside from feeling good about your contribution, you can earn the following:
- A unique pin, for those individuals who sponsor five new members.
- A Silver Star pin, the reward for those sponsoring 10 new members.
- A Toastmasters necktie or scarf for individuals sponsoring 15 or more members.
