A celebration to remember!

Dorthy

We had a wonderful celebration for Dorthy’s Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) achievement! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to reach DTM standing. Dorothy had to complete the following:

- Completion of 40 speeches (7 manuals)
- Completion of the CL manual
- Preparation of a Club Success Plan
- Serving as a club mentor, sponsor or coach
- Serving as a Club officer
- Serving as a District officer
- Presentation of at least 4 Educationals
- Completion of a High Performance Leadership Project (HPL)
- Coaching at least one new member
- Conducting a Success/Leadership, Success/Communication or Youth Leadership Program

Dorothy is a skilled speaker and very valuable member to our club! We are very proud that she is such a dedicated and driven individual. Fun and full of energy, Dorothy is known for sharing an honest opinion and always encouraging people to strive for their personal best. She has helped other clubs as well as our own to be professional and to aim high. Dorothy recently trained to become a life coach and will do great providing guidance helping others achieve their personal goals! Here is a comment she sent to the attendees of her celebration:

“Last evening my club put on a splendid party in my honor for achieving my DTM. I was overwhelmed by the work that went into it and the accolades that I received. They had invited various area and division and district officials and former executive to attend. As well they had invited people who were special to me in my Toastmasters journey. I wanted the event to be kept quite small and intimate at the same time and they somehow managed to do that. They transformed our community hall meeting room which is a retro type room from the 70"s into a beautiful arena with tablecloths, flowers, candles, balloons and wall coverings. They had prepared speeches, tabletopics that roasted me, and open mic. Several people who could not attend forwarded messages to be presented. They had a potluck feast to cap off the evening.  I felt truly honored and appreciated.”

We would like to thank our Division and Area governors, DTM designates and special guests for celebrating with us! It truly was a night to remember. Way to go Dorothy!
