Division "G" Annual Conference There are three marks of Superiority: being virtuous, free from anxiety; being wise, free from perplexity; being brave, free from fear. Yes, last April 11, 2008 at Nafisa Shams Academy For Arts and Crafts, staged the venue for the best communicators and speakers representing their respective clubs to compete in the 4th Division "G" District "79" Toastmasters Annual Conference. The Chief Sergeant at Arms, TM Norie Guerra welcomed all the members, guests, sponsors followed by introducing the Master of the Ceremonies, the Past Division "G" Governor, Ben Guerra to lead and handle the whole proceedings .The Banner Parade was the main attraction of the opening ceremony whereby all the Presidents and Vice Presidents for Education of every club take pride of carrying their Banners led by Division Governor, Area Governors and Vice Governors

for Education. Division "G" Incumbent Governor, Danny Abenes declared the conference open followed by his inspirational message when he said: "This conference is just but one opportunity for us to once again learn and cultivate the so many ideas and speaking talents and techniques that our contestants will showcase. Pick up the best, enhance the not so good, and cultivate their confidence. In this way we are developing ourselves true to the spirit and objectives of Toastmasters Club." Very well said as it also relates to the conference theme "Minds In Motion – Keep the Wheels Turning" which reminds every member that Toastmasteering is a continuous learning and gaining process for our self development and professional enhancement. The control of the lectern was handed over to the master of

The President Message By: TM Faleh Zahrawi

One way to overcome fear of public speaking is to still be afraid and speak in anyways. As illogical as this may seem, it is probably the most reliable way to gain confidence in speaking. Be afraid, be nervous, be hesitant, but do it anyways. Just Go For It!

Toastmasters actually have two tracks for building skills. One is the communication track, which involves improving your speaking skill and the leadership track, TM Faleh Zahrawi which helps you build leadership skills.

POINT OF VIEW By: Art De Leon - Area 24 Governor

“There go the people. . . I must follow them, for I am their leader."

"There go the people. . . I must follow them, for I am their leader." When I accepted the post of the Area-24 Governor, I have so many hesitations in my heart and in my mind. I know little about the great responsibilities I have to face to lead three clubs of multi-national membership. Then I realized that in order to lead effectively I must be a flexible individual along with the application of my lead-

ership style. A leader must interact effectively with his people, must know how to handle proper delegation of responsibility, must have all the knowhow to direct his people in all aspect of work activities, and most of all to lead by examples or to influence your people accordingly. I am not saying that I am a successful leader at this point in time or just should I say that I have only accomplished my commit-

ments of being a leader to my clubs, but as Past Division G Governor TM Joey Villanueva had remarked; "It is only when the chain of your successors carefully follow the road map of protocols provided by the Toastmasters International and objectives and goals were attained without break then that is the true

measure of success in leadership.” I learned a lot and gained a remarkable experience during the tour of my duty as Area-24 Governor. The experience of chartering new club, coaching and assist inactive club, conducting club demonstration meetings, and carrying out club visits were all worth remembering. It is with heavy heart to leave the post, but with the trust and confidence to my successor CC-Joesil Villanueva, I know he can continue my legacy. With his commitment and dedication, surely my expectation on him to continue what I have started in Area-24 will go on. And perhaps he will succeed in accomplishing more and influence all Area-24 Club Officers to attain more goals in their respective Clubs. I am sharing to all of you the honor of obtaining the

SELECT DISTINGUISHED AREA this year because, without all your cooperation and hard work this honor will not come into reality. Remember …..SEEING MUCH..!! SUFFERING MUCH…!!AND WORKING MUCH…!! simply means you have fearlessly crossed the acid tests of a true servant. .

Success is not on how you stare at the ladder but on how you use its stairs to reach the top.

From page 2…...Goal & Success way with your efforts. My friend, Damu’s father was a barber, he was illiterate, but he is not short of wisdom and knowledge. Old men in their village used to come at his barber shop early morning reading news papers and discuss the day to day issues of the world. So if you ever ask him, he can tell you what’s happening in the world.

But his son Damu hate to be a barber, he completed his education and got a job as teacher with enough salary.

Suresh, their neighbor

seeing Damu’s father efforts, started a barber shop and called it “beauty parlor”. Now he is very rich with around 15 shops in various places in India. We could be successful of whatever in our hands, provided we do it properly to achieve

our goals, result will manifest by itself. Our VOICE Toastmaster Club will be a platform for all of the above or more. If we can develop self-confidence by knowing our selves and putting to work what we learn in Toastmasters using both out hands together, success… and more successes are just a speech away, just think Toastmaster and go forward without looking back.

L E A D E R Have you heard the BIG BANGS, the FIREWORKS and the HURRAYS for our fellow Toastmasters? Yes, others not only heard them LOUD but felt them DEEP as well. They are the most deserving Officers of the Clubs, Areas, Divisions and District who brought honor to their respective group. After finishing their term, it is time to give them recognition for a job well done. My congratulations to fellow officers of VOICE club and I hope that during our term, we did not only serve the club but we did learn as well from the position which we held. “Remember that to serve as an officer of a Toastmasters Club is a privilege.” Another set of energetic and enthusiastic officers is on the driver seat and ready to drive us to our goal destination for the term 2008-2009. For me, it is an honor and a privilege to serve another term in another position. To my fellow officers, let us help one another and together let us drive the wheels of our club, making sure that we will survive the rough road towards our goal this term. If we believe that we are here in Toastmasters to learn and to be effective communicators, then there is no doubt that we will become effective leaders too. It is like we are shooting two birds in one stone. So let’s go hand in hand, push those barriers out of our roads and let the engine starts. We will not stop until we get there, we will not stop until we reach our “GOAL” to become “President Distinguish Award”, the highest award of the Toastmasters International. I think I will not use the word O F F I C E R in our club. Since, I wanted these individuals to be always visible and ready to accept responsibilities and challenges for the betterment of our club. And since, these are individuals who are always there to assist our club and its members. Then, let’s call them, “L E A D E R”. I’d like to call them LEADER for I want to see our club officers to: L - ead us E - levate us A - ccept responsibilities and challenges D - irect us E - nergize us, and lastly R - ule to bring the club to its pedestal. Fellow toastmasters, members and Officers of VOICE Club let me leave you this question. “What does a LEADER mean to you?”
