Let's Start Sharing!

Have you ever wonder how to promote our beloved club more? To sponsor members more? To help others to speak more? To help others to get promoted in their job more? Well, since I am your VPPR for this term, I just wanted to do a quick share with you all.

1. Newspaper

2. Electronic Media

3. Local Government

4. Chamber of Commerce

5. Libraries

6. Corporate Publication

7. Employee Orientation

8. "Welcome to the Community" Packets

9. University & Community College

10. High Schools

11. Community Events

12. Proclamations by Politician

13. Billboards

14. Offer Speechcraft and Youth Leadership Programs

15. Create Club Business Cards

16. Use TI Bumper Stickers & Mugs

17. Wear your Toastmasters Pins

(You can read more on it from this article)

I hope everyone has a few a idea on how to stretch our wings further in the city of nature, Sandakan. Let us hold our hand and explore all the possibility together for another half of this term and beyond.

If you have any great ideas and you would like to contribute to help expand our marketability to help others to grow... you are more than welcome to share with us and let's make Sandakan Toastmasters Club, a club of everybody choice. Till then... catch up with you next meeting same time, same place! Cheers...

Sung Siew Gavel Club Installation

Hi everyone!! Is me... your VPPR, after missing from action. Luckily we got our lovely VPE, Alice to do the posting for me or else you will be missing a whole lots of fun. Now, is back to work... last Friday (6 Nov 2009) our very first Gavel Club in town has finally conducted the installation at Sandakan Hotel with smiles and thumbs up the whole night. They are the Sung Siew Gavel Club!! Sung Siew Secondary School was my former school - really proud of them. The whole installation was all fun, fun, fun, and more fun. What is the fun like? Well, we got talented singers, cool dancers, and even actors too.

I think I better stop writing and start showing you all the pictures instead, like I always said action pictures speak louder than words (sometimes). So, here it goes:-
