I would meet with you about  Toastmasters but unfortunately I have to go down to Bloom Bakery and pick up my paintings in the morning since they are closing after Friday! I  was in the Westshore Toastmasters like a few years back and I did not do very well! For some reason I don't really have the proper communication skills when it comes to making speeches.

Good Morning Cleveland,

I trust that your participation at this years convention was a great one. And, for all who were unable to join us, we do hope that next year will be an opportunity for you to do So.

Congratulations! You have done it again! We are the proud recipients of the 2019 Gavel Award! Thank you all for your dedication, participation and commitment!

Now, I am requesting your understanding of a situation that occurred this past Sunday at the Convention. There is a resolution that passed in regards to the Dockless Scooters. As most of you know, one of my leadership abilities is “compassion”. In my opinion, if you do not have compassion for people, then you can not see their perspective from those to whom you lead. Without all of the details from the meeting, we must do a better job of reading, listening and comprehending resolutions, emails and other pertinent information to ensure we have the facts and can relay  that information. I commit to you that I will do a better job of this myself.

As for this resolution, Barbara and Eric are revising the document to include the EBikes. We will discuss this further at our November meeting next week. In addition, Cleveland along with additional members across the state will participate with us at the meeting with the City of Cleveland on the Dockless Scooters and the EBikes. If you have questions, do not email me. Please call me for now on if you have questions; so that I can interpret that information for your understanding.

Secondly, Cleveland has an opportunity to be a vendor at the Cleveland Cavaliers game in March. There are a few requirements that we must meet in order to pull this off. So, this as well will be discussed next week.

Please join me on Thursday’s for a Toastmasters Club at the Downtown Cleveland Public Library. Learning is fundamental and the key to success. The sessions will offer tips and the opportunity to learn or build confidence in Public Speaking. Thus, think of it on the basis of having the ability to express yourself, improve comprehension and learn to communicate more effectively. I will meet you there starting Thursday, November 14, 2019 at noon. The address is 525 Superior Avenue NE, Cleveland, Ohio 44114.

Finally we will have elections next week. If you would like to be considered for a position, give Evelyn a call at 216-851-7226. However, if you are nominating someone from the floor, please speak to them first.

Note! Cheryl and Natasha will announce where our Christmas party will be as well next week.

President, Richard Payne announced that the deadline to inform him of your interest to attend the Washington Seminar is December 1, 2019. Email or call him at, (937) 829-3368 or Rchpay7 at gmail.com.

That is all for now!

Suzanne

You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
