| Division G Scandinavia News: |
The new term of Toastmasters started on July 1st, 2010. We are setting high goals for our division - President's Distinguished Division this year! It is time for our division to grow as well, and we are well underway with the start-up of new clubs in Karlstad and Malmö! We have many towns and cities in Sweden where there is a large enough population to support many more Toastmasters clubs. Would you like to be a part of the team that helps new clubs to start? Please contact your Area Governor or me.
We have had one session of the Toastmasters Leadership Institute in June, and the second session on Saturday, August 21 for Areas G1 and G2. Please contact Peter Cederholm in Stockholm for the Area G1 date. While we primarily focus towards Club Officers, this training is open to any Toastmaster member.
Soon after the Leadership Institute, clubs will be starting the annual rounds for the Humorous Speech competition and the Table Topics competition at the club levels. The winners at the clubs are invited to attend the Area and Division contests.
We have decided to hold Area and Division contests on the same day. These contests in the Autumn will be held in Stockholm
(and in the Spring in Gothenburg).
Area G1, G2 and G3 and Division G - October 16 - Stockholm
For your future reference, the dates for the Spring International Speech and Evaluation competitions are:
Area G1, G2, G3 and Division G - April 9 - Gothenburg
Mark these dates on your calendar for a fun-filled day of having fun, hearing speeches, and networking!
This site will be updated further as new event dates become final.
Best regards,
Elizabeth Nostedt

| Dear fellow Toastmasters from District 59 |
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you. As Number 6 of the best Districts in the world we are a President´s Distinguished District. You can be very proud of (y)our accomplishments last year which helped lead to this wonderful recognition. What a great success! I’m very grateful having been a part of it.
Let's look ahead. We are now one month into our Toastmasters year 2010-2011.
This will be a year full of exciting challenges and limitless possibilities. I believe that we deserve to repeat and even exceed last year’s success. We can do it. It is easy to do.
Have you already started the process of “Fulfilling Your Dreams”? How?
Continue to follow your goals. I’m sure you all have your communication and leadership goals written down. Remember that if you know where you’re heading the goal is easy to reach. Continue to fulfill your dreams by taking small steps toward the achievement of your goals. If you do so (y)our success is inevitable.
Make every speech count. Provide and receive valuable feedback. Help as a leader to ensure exciting quality meetings every single time. Toastmasters provides a variety of experiences on all levels of communication.
Share your passion and your experiences about Toastmasters with those around you. Toastmasters has a lot to offer for all of us. Why not start a new club in your company or in your neighborhood? Then we can give even more people in our District 59 the opportunity to benefit from the Toastmasters program. Starting new clubs leads to countless fun and very rewarding experiences.
Ask your Toastmasters colleagues what their expectations are and see how you can implement those ideas into your club’s environment. Sometimes a brief interview or survey can show many suggestions for improvement. Toastmasters is not static. It’s a dynamic and learning environment where all of us have the opportunity to grow beyond our expectations.
Have fun with everything you do and continue
“Fulfilling Your Dreams”.
Have a great day.
