Before the term ends...
   Posted on June 18th COURAGE 51 FINAL EPISODE IS OUT …. FINALLY
The Hollywood movie scene has seen exciting ending of movie trilogies. Who can forget the thrilling end of the Star Wars saga in “Return Of The Jedi” or the epic end of the Lord Of The Rings saga in “Return Of The King”? At such, we would like to cap the final episode (final edition) of the Courage 51 trilogy with a triumphant finish as well. In the final episode, you will be able to discover the following courageous “plots”. We pay tribute to women's contribution as leaders in Toastmasters by sharing with you, Datuk Adeline Leong thoughts, on how women can excel as leaders. Want to be an effective presenter? How about finding it out from a past World Champion of Public Speaking, Darren Lacroix. Of course, we have many more interesting plots to share with you but as they said revealing too much will spoil the “show”.

Posted on April 20th District
51 Speakers Bureau is piloting now ..
 Have you
been approached by friends before to look for speaker to speak in their
function simply because they know you are a Toastmaster and you might
have the necessary contact? Have you been
searching for speakers for your Toastmasters function and was hoping
that you can refer to some sort of speakers directory where you can
choose the speakers that you want?
Well, if you have
been in this kind of situation before, we are offering you a service
that hopefully can address this.
District 51 Speakers
Chairman, Suzerian Francis has implemented the district speakers bureau
program for the first time in District 51. Speaker bureau is one of the
programs recommended by Toastmasters International and can be found in
some districts around the globe.
Since we are doing
it for the first time, we will be piloting it and you can expect the
bureau to continue growing in the coming months as we intensify the
efforts to build a reputable speakers bureau for District 51.

A Hotspot For Toastmasters Growth
 The city of Surabaya
in Indonesia is fast becoming the hotspot for Toastmasters growth in
District 51. Never have we seen such a rapid and frenetic expansion of
clubs in an area within such a short span of time. Area I4 under area
governor, Wardiman Djojonegoro, DTM and Division I under division
governor, Arlan Setiawan, DTM have chartered 4 new clubs (UC, UC2, IEU,
UPH Toastmasters clubs) in February and another 2 new clubs (ITS and
Margie Toastmasters clubs) in March. All the clubs were setup in
universities except Margie which was setup in high school.
Well done Pak Wardiman and Pak Arlan. You are truly an inspiration to all Toastmasters in District 51. The second week of
March was really an action packed week for Surabaya Toastmasters. 4 big
events were going on at the same time. On 13 Mar 2009, there was an
installation ceremony for 3 new clubs and officers' training for 6 new
clubs. On 14 Mar 2009 there was a public seminar and area level
International and Table Topics Speech contest.
 The hosting club is
UPH Surabaya Toastmasters Club. The facilities are first class.
  3 District Officers flew from Malaysia, our DG, Joseph Gomez DTM, Ganesh Sangaran and NJ Singam. 4 District officers came from Jakarta; Ibu Mien Soenari DTM, Pak Wardiman Djojonegoro DTM, Johan Setiawan and Tjandra Gunawan. 1 district officer came from Bali, Pak Cakra Sudarsana, to support the events.
