Dear District Governor Y. S. Liao and members in District 67,
致廖總會長及67區諸位會員:

Congratulations on your District mid year Conference !
恭喜你們的秋季大會順利開展!

The district conference is an event where you can help Toastmasters enhance their club experiences. At the conference, members are inspired to deliver manual speeches, give and receive speech evaluations, take on club meeting roles and grow as Toastmasters. When members are satisfied, they stay with our organization.
這個國際演講會半年一度的盛事,可以讓我們的會員藉由觀摩,精進演講技巧,學習有效講評,了解例會角色扮演,並促進會務的營運,會員們有所獲益,才會繼續留在演講會中。

Each of us has grown through our experiences in Toastmasters. We have the opportunity to share our story and the benefits with our friends and acquaintances. As your International President, I have set a challenge for each of us to join me in inviting our friends and acquaintances to visit a Toastmasters club and be part of the Toastmasters movement.
在演講會中,我們學習成長,分享彼此的故事,互相鼓舞激勵,身為世界總會長的我,想藉此機會對大家提出一個要求:有沒有可能,我們每一位會員,都可以邀請邀請一位您的親朋好友,參加我們的例會,讓他們也一起分享演講會的快樂時光?

In a profit-oriented organization, the shareholders are responsible for the growth of the organization; in a non-profit organization like Toastmasters International, we as members are responsible for the growth of the organization – we determine our future.
在營利為導向的機構中,股東們對公司的營運成長負有責任;在國際演講會這樣的非營利組織,身為會員的我們,當然對此組織的成長責無旁貸,國際演講會的未來,就掌握在我們的手上。

When each of us recruits one new member, the magic formula of 1+1 will double our organization’s membership.
如果每位會員都能夠召募到一位新會員,這個神奇的「一加一方程式」就可以讓我們得到一倍的會員成長。

Our current global membership is close to 300,000; the 1+1 formula will help us fulfill our mission by sharing with even more members the benefits of Toastmasters’ communication and leadership programs. As the saying goes: “ Where energy flows, attention goes. ”
目前,我們全球的會員數已接近三萬人,這個「一加一方程式」可以幫助我們讓更多人來分享國際演講會的益處。有道是:「精誠所至,金石為開」讓我們一起:


•Let us put our energy to build our existing Clubs and new clubs and by inviting our friends to join a club
•貢獻心力,活絡分會!

•Let us devote our energy to making our organization more vibrant than ever
•廣邀親朋,開創新會!

•Let us together ignite our passion in Toastmasters where leaders are made!
•點燃熱情,共育領袖!

Toastmasters: Where Leaders Are Made
國際演講會,領袖的搖籃

Yours sincerely,

John Lau, DTM
International President 2012-2013, Toastmasters International
