Dare To Soar!
"No one knows to what heights you can soar, even you will not know until you spread your wings."
Wes Hover, Division C Governor
When I first started my journey in Toastmasters, I pretty much had determined the path that I wanted to take. My thought was that once I got over the uneasiness that I felt when speaking to an audience, that I would be done and then could move on to other things. I had done some public speaking and thought that I was good at it. Boy was I awakened to reality. It’s not that I was that bad, it was just that there was so much more that I could improve on.
When I received my 1st Competent Communicator Award, I was thrilled and assumed that I had graduated and was ready to move on. Then a longtime member of Toastmasters asked what some of my goals in life were, to which I replied that I’d like to maybe go into management within my job, that I’d like to be a trainer or even …Gasp !!!, become a professional speaker .I was amazed…where did that come from? Was that even possible?
My friends and mentors within Toastmasters offered suggestions that in addition to the Communication track that I was on within Toastmasters, that I might also try the Leadership track. I was told that I would learn new skills that would be beneficial in whatever I may try to achieve in the future. I was curious… but also hesitant to try. This was more than I had ever imagined when I first came to Toastmasters…what if I failed?
Friends, that was quite a while ago…And what I have found is that within Toastmasters there is no failure, Toastmasters is a program of success. I say that with certainty, because I have seen it not only within myself, but have witnessed the growth in so many others.
I am currently completing my term as Area C3 governor, and have made the decision to step up once again, and I’m incoming Division C Governor. Things I never thought possible when I walked into my first Toastmasters meeting.
These are just things that I would not have been able to achieve, if I had not tried.>
One of my favorite quotes is “No one knows to what heights they can fly, not even you, until you spread your wings” So my fellow members…Dare to SOAR

Born in Berwyn, Illinois (that is a suburb of Chicago.) during the first big depression. I have three children: two lawyers and one hospital administrator. My friend, Betty Colston wanted to start a new TM club, so she asked if I would join her, and I did. That was in 1985. I loved entering the speaking contests.
Wes Hoover District C Governor ask me to take the responsibility of Area C3 Governor. He said it would be a fun year, and so far it has been very rewarding. I have met a lot of very nice people in my five clubs, and I have learned a lot of new ways to conduct a meeting. I am learning new things every day. Growing mentally keeps me young at heart.
