[D28_community] District 28 members - A Season to Grow

[Mark Sutton]

Hello, District Members!  I'm happy to announce the new membership 
building contest for for District 28.  "A Season to Grow" runs July 1 - 
September 30.  Please pass this announcement along to the Toastmasters 
clubs within your areas and divisions.  (I realize it may not be 
possible to reach every club right away, since the new district 
directories are not yet out, but your efforts to communicate with as 
many of them as possible is deeply appreciated.)

Note:  Some computers cannot handle lots of graphics, so I've kept the 
attached version of the flyer very simple.  Others won't accept 
attachments at all, so the text of the flyer is reproduced at the bottom 
of this message.  Thanks!




                             "A Season to Grow"
            a.k.a. the District 28 Membership Building Contest


Summer is a season of growth.  Days are longer.  Plants get taller. With 
a little TLC, your membership roster can grow, too!  "A Season to Grow", 
 the District 28 membership building contest, is an excellent 
opportunity to help your club build its membership AND earn the chance 
to attend the Fall Conference for free!  Here's how it works:

- For current clubs (chartered before July 1, 2005), for every NEW 
member that a club signs up during the time period July 1-September 30, 
the club will have one token dropped into the flowerpot.

- A bonus token will be added for every four new members that club signs 
up.  (For example, four new members, five tokens.  Eight new members, 10 
tokens.)

- To be as fair as possible, and to keep things simple, the TI District 
28 Performance Report for September 2005 will be used as the official 
data source.  Please be aware that membership applications submitted by 
mail, or submitted electronically very close to the deadline, may not be 
reflected in the report.   Once TI posts this report, the drawing will 
be held and the results announced.

- Four tokens will be drawn.  Each winning club will receive one free 
full package registration to District 28's 2005 Fall Conference, 
scheduled for November 18-19, 2005, at the Holiday Inn-Fairlane in 
Detroit, Michigan.

Additional Rules:

- Clubs may win more than one free registration.  It's simply the luck 
of the draw.

- Winning clubs may choose which members receive the free registration 
by a random drawing, member vote, rock/paper/scissors, etc.  If a 
recipient has already registered for the conference, his or her 
registration fee will be refunded.

- Awards are not transferable to another club.

- Free registrations are valid for only District 28's 2005 Fall 
Conference, and do NOT include hotel accommodations or any other charges.

- To be eligible, a club must be in good standing with TI (dues paid).

Newly Chartered Clubs:

For each club chartered July 1 - September 30, 2005, that newly 
chartered club will automatically receive a complete set of the Better 
Speaker Series modules.  After the club charters, if the club adds 
additional new members by September 30, those new (non-charter) members 
will be counted toward the main contest.
