Igniters is Thriving and Growing

 Welcome to our new member, Barbara!

Thank you for joining us and thank you to all the members who renewed before the Oct 1 deadline. Many thanks to our treasurer, Petra, for gently reminding us to pay our dues. Igniters is a strong club with 30 members who love to learn, grow, encourage and have fun.

 Members reaching beyond the club:

Ellen as Area Director for A27, Fola as Area Director for E6, Marvin as the District Online Chief Judge. Many other members are doing presentations at the District level in leadership and communication. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.

 Are you a hammerhead, jellyfish, dolphin or a Dora?

During the October 1 meeting, Bentley gave a thought-provoking speech on leadership styles using those imaginative and aquatic terms. It certainly got us talking! Our master Toastmaster Ksenija asked to share aha moments in our introductions which led to some beautiful insights and funny stories.

On Tuesday, October 22, we will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Toastmasters! Stay tuned!
