Cross, VP Membership, T-Bird Talks
On June 1, members of T-Bird Talks presented a "Speaking Professionally to "seminar at the Glendale Public Library which was open to the public. We took one entire club meeting and rehearsed the seminar.
That was probably why it went so well.
One of our speakers was Aimee Tewalt, Miss Rodeo Arizona, who is a member of our
club. She rehearsed her speech about 6 times
at club meetings and each time we helped her improve it. She came to the seminar in
full regalia.
The club members were wonderful and made it a memorable
evening. We had about 15 guests, and have already had two new members sign up and pay their dues. Two others are still coming
as visitors.
An additional benefit of the program has occurred at a major corporation in the valley where my daughter works. I sent flyers about the seminar to her office. The publicity has inspired the corporate club's lapsed members to get involved again.
We were very happy with the results of our seminar and are looking forward to doing another one soon.
