Message from LGM – Passion Drive 1

Dear Club Officers,

You are doing a wonderful job with Passion Drive-1.

Go, go, go…Give yourself another push, and you’ll reach the finishing line.

Here’s more good news. We have decided to give weaker clubs with at least 12 membership base something to look forward to. If you can meet the criteria of Passion Drive-1, you will also qualify for a full reimbursement of the club banner!

It’ll be great feeling, knowing that you have not let challenges defeat you; knowing that you have exceeded all expectations -  to lead your respective clubs and members, to achieve goals that you thought would take the entire term to realise.

So how do we make sure our efforts are being recognised?  

How do get full reimbursement on the club banner?

1)      A: Complete the “Passion Drive-1” application form. Make sure you provide all details required.

2)      B: Complete the CONFIRMATION letter.

3)      Please scan and email the completed A&B to Passion Drive-1 Coordinator, Jackie Loi  (jackieloieco@yahoo.com)  and c.c LGM Kiang Faang Pyng (kfpyng@gmail.com) on or before 30 September 2011.

 *Jackie Loi is from Premier Advanced Toastmasters Club in Area P3.

4)      C:  Send payment of RM300.00 to Toastmasters District 51 2011-2012

CIMB Bank Account: 0714-0012796-05-8 in the names of “CHAN SOH NOOI/ RAMDAS NAYAR” latest by 25 September 2011.

*For online payment, please provide the transaction reference number to Jackie Loi and Kiang Faang Pyng.

The District will organise the bulk purchase of the Club Banners from Toastmasters International in order to save on shipping charges.

In addition to that, we want to place our order before October 2011, in order to enjoy a 20% discount (this is why your payment of RM300 must reach the District latest by 25 September, 2011).

*Please note: Should any club name and/ or club number be wrongly printed in the USA, it would be  very costly to courier the banners to TI to be corrected and then back to Malaysia.  To avoid having to incur such costly courier charges, the printing of the respective club names and club numbers will be done locally.

The District is committed to provide full reimbursement of RM300 to participating clubs that succeed in Passion Drive-1,  in April 2012, when these clubs renew another 15 (minimum) membership dues, for the period 1 April – 30 September 2012.

I look forward to your success in Passion Drive-1.

 

Your Lt Governor Marketing 2011-2012,

Kiang Faang Pyng, DTM

For Passion-Drive 2, the District encourages Division Governors to share the Gift Vouchers with the respective Area Governors who assist in getting the new club chartered. We recommend at least a 50-50 share, but Division Governors will use their discretion to decide.
