The Booster...
Learning How to "Boost" Membership

The Booster is a bi-weekly newsletter to provide information and incentives for boosting club membership. This is a significant challenge, but it can be done with your help. Please take the time to do the following:

(1) Every time you get an idea for boosting membership, no matter how insignificant or off the wall, email it to me.

(2) Whenever you can, try to answer the question of the week and send your answer to me.

(3) Share The Booster in any form with other Toastmasters, or anyone else for that matter. If they want to be added to the distribution list I’d love to have them. Just get them to email me that they want to receive it.

This newsletter should be pretty much an open forum. I try to post any mail I receive on the subject of membership building (I reserve the right to leave out or edit any I find offensive and to publish only one copy of anything that is duplicated) in a section which I call “We Get Letters” (How original). Letters can be directed at me or another letter writer.

Can't open the PDF files?:

1. Look for a program on your computer called Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have it, download the FREE Acrobat Reader through this link. You'll need 5.6Mb of hard disk space for the Acrobat Reader. [Note: If you're looking at this page at your place of work, you might have trouble downloading a program because your company might use firewalls. Contact your network administrator if you cannot find or download Acrobat Reader on your own.]

2. Execute (or Open) the Acrobat program so that a screen appears with Acrobat Reader shown at the top left corner.

3. Click on your browser icon and return to this page to click on whichever PDF file you'd like to download.

4. After downloading, your browser will probably just launch the document for you. If not, manually open your Acrobat Reader program or Windows Explorer and click on the SAGE document you saved. It should open right up for you.
