Story Telling Treasure...
In his workshop, "Using stories to get your message across", Dunstan Chan, DTM, mentioned that internet is an avenue for you to find stories you can use...
I have a treasure to share with you - not only there are the stories, but you can LISTEN TO as well as read them!
It is a free online collection of stories and poems in Mp3 (audiobook) format. You can:
* Download the files to your Mp3 player and listen on the go,
* Listen to the Mp3 files on your computer,
* View the text on a webpage and read along as you listen,
* Print out the stories and poems to make your own book.
There are four ways to get started:
1. Browse by Author. You can pick your stories by the author's last name.
2. Browse by Title. You can pick your stories by title.
3. Search Database. You can search the collection by title, author, keywords or reading level.
An abstract, citation, playing time, and word count are given for each of the passages. Many of the passages also have a related reading strategy identified. Each reading passage can also be downloaded as a PDF and printed for use as a read-along or as supplemental reading material for your classroom.
4. Launch iTunes. If you have iTunes software installed on your computer, you can download many of the selections directly into your iTunes library. The free iTunes application for either Macintosh or Windows computers may be downloaded directly from Apple, Inc.
I hope you will find this site very helpful, specially if you are doing the StoryTelling / Advanced Manuals. You will certainly find the audio files very helpful to master the art of vocal varieties...
Even if you are not you might just enjoy listening to them, or prefer to keep themas a collection...
You never know when you will become a grandfather and need to tell stories to your grandchildren...
Have Fun...

AT YOUR SERVICE !
(reprinted from TIPS, Toastmasters International Jan/Feb 1997)
A successful Toastmasters club is much like a successful business: The members are the customers, and the club should strive to provide excellent customer service along with the superior product it provides. What is the club's product? It's the club meeting – where members develop their communication and leadership skills. Poorly run club meetings mean members do not receive the quality product they expect. The result can be unhappy customers who decide to find a better product elsewhere. Find out if your club is providing good customer service and a quality product with this checklist for a great club:
1. Meetings start and end on time.
2. Participants are considerate of others; they know everyone's time is too valuable to waste.
3. All participants are prepared.
4. The meeting flows smoothly. There are no awkward transitions between segments and no gaps or lags in the program. The meeting is fast-paced, never slow or boring. Time limits are established and followed for each meeting segment.
5. Scheduled speakers give manual speeches. All members are working in the basic or advanced Communication and Leadership Program manuals and are presenting manual speeches. They know that by giving non-manual speeches, they are depriving other members of the opportunity to achieve their goals. Members also should avoid giving "stoplight" speeches - speeches prepared while driving to the meeting.
6. Recognition is given when the members earn it. Club awards are given only to those who serve them. Members apply for education awards only when they have fulfilled all requirements. Members conduct and register Success/Leadership and Success/Communication programs according to the guidelines provided by World Headquarters.
7. Everyone is involved. All members actively participate in the meeting. Each member is encouraged to improve and achieve.
8. Evaluations are meaningful, not "whitewashed." Every evaluator offers specific suggestions for improvement and gives positive comments.
9. Members are enthusiastic and proud of their club.
10. Club officers are trained in their roles and fulfill their responsibilities. Officers are dedicated and genuinely concerned about the well being of the club and its members.
