Weekly Update 08/11/2018
Websites
It’s been brought to my attention that there are some people unhappy with the fact we have 3 different websites, Toastmasters.org, DallasToastmasters.com and app.tmclubschedule.com, that require a log in. While it’s generally frowned upon to use the same username/password for multiple sites, this is one of those times when it’s *probably* not going to cause any harm to do so. It will obviously make it easier to remember the password, etc.
Also, if you do not use a password manager, then I would strongly recommend looking into one. I’ve personally used lastpass.com for years, and have been very happy with it. The paid version, which allows you to use the app on your phone much is a whopping $2 a month, (billed annually.) It’s something you should consider. If you do use it, logging into sites won’t be much of a hassle for you. Catch me at a meeting for a demo.
Club Contest
The fall contest season is right around the corner. There are 7 weeks until the club level contest on September 27th. We currently need a Contest Master and Chief Judge. If you fill either of these positions, you are not eligible to participate in the contest. If you have no desire to compete, then you should strongly consider volunteering to help run the contest.
A great place to get more information about these roles, and what would be needed of you can be found here: http://d50toastmasters.org/contests/contest-resources.html
Schedule
I will be working the next two weeks of schedules this MONDAY. If you do not have your absences in the system, you need to get them in place now.
Did you know?
On the DallasToastmasters.com site there is a section dedicated to role guides. If you need help with now to fill a role, then this section can be a huge help to you. Look in the Members Central section of the site (after you log in.)
