Dear Fellow Toastmasters,

Greetings of the Season and a very hearty welcome to District 42 Toastmasters Learning Institute (TLI) events in 2012.

As Toastmasters, we are continuous learners and the TLI events are important parts of our Toastmasters journey. Whether you are a rookie Toastmaster or have decades of experience, the TLI educational sessions are excellent forums to train ourselves, share our experiences and take a look at what's happening around us, so that all of us become better Toastmasters, Leaders and Communicators.

Please contact one of the TLI coordinators and register to enjoy a day of training, networking and camaraderie. The details of the events are as follows:

Volume 46, Number 1

Spring is just around the corner!  A time of growth and regeneration.   A time of preparing for our short but highly anticipated growing season!  A time of challenge to fit everything in while juggling conflicting priorities.  Such is the life of a Toastmaster.  What is your priority? 

Take a look around.  Oh!  Where did everybody go?  Is your club constantly striving to get membership up to charter strength or better?   Perhaps on paper your club appears strong (20 members or more, or 5 new members in the past year), but how many members are actually showing up to your meetings?

Northern Alberta Toastmasters, get ready for a fun day of training, educational sessions and networking with other Toastmasters. TLI 2012 will feature Club Officer Training, Boot Camp as well as several general interest sessions. Some examples are: How to Approach a Disabled Person; How to get the most out of the TI site; Brain Training ...and much much more.
