The President Message

By: TM Faleh Zahrawi

One way to over-
come 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!

not expect you to be good. It is not I look forward to seeing you at our
much pressure with lots of encouragement. n e x t m e e t i n g .

I think the best solution is to con-
front this fear and to join Toastmas-
ters International. The nice thing
about Toastmasters is that the or-
ganization is designed to make it as
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."
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
“There go the I have to face to lead three
people. . . I clubs of multi-national mem-
must follow bership. Then I realized that in
order to lead effectively I must
them, for I am be a flexible individual along
their leader." 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 ex-
amples 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 care-
fully follow the road map of
protocols provided by the
Toastmasters International
and objectives and goals
were attained without
break then that is the true

I learned a lot and gained a remarkable experience during the
tour of my duty as Area-24 Governor. The experience of charter-
ing 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 commit-
ment 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

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 privi-
lege 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 communi-

cators, 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 indi-
viduals to be always visible and ready to accept responsibilities and challenges for the bet-
terment 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?”
