Toastmasters Meeting
A quick reminder about the Open Meeting with Dinsdale Toastmasters, Hamilton, New Zealand.
Tues 28th 7pm at the Western Community centre, Hyde ave, Nawton.
Anyone over the age of 18 welcome to attend.
feel free to PM me for more details about the open meeting, the Dinsdale Toastmasters club or Toastmasters in general.
I've been a member of Toastmasters for 27 and a half years and been with the Dinsdale club for almost 25 of them (am the longest serving member, tho our current President is the longest serving Toastmaster, he's been in the organization 5 years longer than me, but in the club for 22 years).
Of our 7 senior members we have a combination of 147 and a half years in Toastmasters but a combination of 115 and a half years in the Dinsdale club (4 of us had been previous members of other clubs). So if you decide to join our club there are several members with a ton of knowledge who can assist you in every aspect of Toastmasters life.
We look forward to hopefully meeting you tomorrow night (28th) however if you are unable to attend the Open Meeting you may attend any Tues night.
See you all soon.

The clock is ticking and the pressure is on as Hamilton City Council elected members were told whatever water delivery service they chose, it must wash its face financially.
Councillors have until December 12 to come up with a preferred option for water delivery, which will then be open for public consultation.
What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
