Past President Rich Giroux Moving to Houston November 1st
A letter from our club member and a past President, Rich Giroux, was read at the October 13, 1999 club meeting:
"Many of you knew that for the last two months I have been on temporary assignment for Marathon in Houston, Texas. Also, I have only been coming home one weekend per month. Recently Marathon informed me that I would be permanently transferred to Houston effective November 1st.
I wanted all of you to know how much I enjoyed being part of Toastmasters. We had lots of fun together and I learned a great deal from all of you. I intend to join a Houston Toastmasters' club once we find a new home. Please continue my membership for the next period to that I can continue my membership in Toastmasters. If I ever find myself in Findlay on a second or fourth Wednesday, you can count on my stopping by to participate will all of you.
Sincerely, Rich Giroux"

Our Goal— Better Listening, Thinking, Speaking
The goal of Toastmasters Clubs everywhere is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.
We are a group of men and women in Hancock County who meet over lunch every two weeks to improve our communication and leadership skills. This shared commitment allows members to draw strength from one another and take pride in helping each other grow and develop, and makes learning fun.
This Club is a member of Toastmasters International, District 28, Area 2, Club 1563.
Our members currently include a manager of information systems, two attorneys, two professors, a financial consultant, two in law enforcement, an agricultural extension agent, retirees and others. Members are from various towns.
"We enjoy learning to speak (and listen) better, although it is scary for beginners. Since virtually every member in attendance gets an opportunity to speak to each meeting, even if just for a "Thought for the day", over time the scary feeling goes away, replaced with, 'I want to speak.' We have an organized program to take beginners from their initial fear to that successful speaker feeling. We all support each other, and that makes a big difference. Our club is excellent for both beginners and those who are experienced speakers who want to improve, or just have a good time with others over lunch." Wayne Wiemerslage, President.

If you think the odds of you speaking confidently before large
groups is the same as the likelihood of a pig flying,
