The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, September 11,1991 5 Toastmasters Club Looks at Renewal Clubs & Organizations Kinsmen Welcome New Member As Bowmanville Toastmasters Toastmasters renew their commitment to the organization with the start of regular fall meetings, it seems equally fitting that chairman chairman Connie Nelson should choose renewal as her theme. In a quotation from Max Reinhardt Reinhardt we were urged to "always "always act the part, and you can become whatever you wish to become." Although there are many tell-tale signs of autumn in the air, it is still officially summer. Table Topics Master Sher Lcc- toozc asked us to pretend for one minute that we were world-famous chefs preparing our students for the summer season. The various gastronomic gastronomic delights to be prepared included hot-dogs, Beef Wellington, Wellington, chicken Cordon Bleu, and a dessert called Piggy Duff. Some toastmasters who knew nothing about such esoteric esoteric dishes as Rouladcn managed managed to fill their minute well. The impromptu speaking part of the meeting encourages toastmasters to think on their feet while exercising their imaginations and making effective effective use of gestures, voice, and eye contact. The toastmaster toastmaster who won the coveted Table Topics award for the evening employed a convincing French accent. Felicitations, Toastmaster Toastmaster Bruce Neopolc. For her part in "sparking" the business session, Toastmaster Toastmaster Sher Lcctoozc was judged by the membership to té most deserving of the Sparkplug Trophy. The awarding of this trophy on a weekly basis en-, courages all toastmasters to participate in the often lively debate of the business session. The part of the evening at Bowmanville Toastmasters is anything but stuffy! There were two speakers during the prepared speech part of the program. In a speech entitled, entitled, The Right Choice, Toastmaster Nancy Barnes demonstrated a selling attitude that put the needs and interests of the customer first in her position position as a Real-Estate salesperson. salesperson.

The challenges of this program enable enable people to gain this much- needed belief in themselves, no matter what their individual difference and objectives may be. In an article from the Toastmasters magazine entitled, entitled, Converse with Charisma, David E. Sumner suggests several several ways to improve one's interaction interaction with others. One way is the use of praise. Toastmasters Toastmasters encourage the use of praise in all areas of the program. Another Another is the use of humour. At each and every meeting of Bowmanville Toastmasters there is heartfelt laughter, much of it spontaneous. Yet another means of improving one's interaction is the use of gestures (body language) during during a conversation. Prepared and impromptu speeches are greatly enhanced by effective nonverbal cues, and this aspect of communication is constantly encouraged in the organization. Learning to relax is yet another another means of making people feel comfortable and free in one's presence. Greater self- confidence through membership membership in Toastmasters will contribute contribute to a more relaxed approach approach to business and personal relationships. Finally, the article reminds us to look at people. Eye contact demonstrates demonstrates interest, empathy, and caring. It is one of the basic communication tools of the Toastmasters program.

Mr. Vice delivered an entertaining entertaining presentation on past Rotary community projects. A color homc-movic, shown during during his speech, aroused vivid memories for many veteran Rotarians, and provided a brief trip down Memory Lane for those too new to remember. The beginning of the film recorded early efforts on the Soper Creek Park development from the early 50's. The park is a generous acreage south of Highway Two, running along Soper Creek. When the club first envisioned the idea of a recreation park, most existing land along the creek was unusable, unusable, impenetrable brushland. The Rotarians purchased the Mill acreage for $17,000 in 1954 and began to clear the land for a park. Clearing the land was no small task. But, with attitudes like those of yesteryear's pioneers, pioneers, the work crews proceeded proceeded undaunted toward taming the site. Faced with run-down, irreparable structures littering the property, and stubborn dense brush, the project spanned several years. Heavy trees and scrap willow along the banks of the creek presented presented a challenge for the men who eventually opened up the acreage. Much time and labour was donated by the unemployed, by students and by community volunteers, who worked alongside alongside the Rotarians to complete the clearing. Mr. Vice remembered remembered the unselfish contributions contributions from tireless Hydro workers workers and firemen of the time. Besides clearing trees, the crews worked at renovating the the weathered, old mill. Fixing the roof, replacing windows and constructing a new ceiling kept the site active year-round. A septic tank and watermains were installed. As the project approached completion, a road was laid down and graded as far as the new field and ball diamond. diamond. With unflagging enthusiasm, enthusiasm, the Rotary Club continued continued landscaping and building. Over $45,000 of club funds were devoted to the dream. In 1973, the finished park was donated to the Town of Bowmanville. The Mill is now home to the Visual Arts Centre. Centre. (V.A.C.). Another Rotary Club venture venture in the 1950's was Bow- manville's first automatic car wash. Film footage showed dozens of gleaming autos from the 50's; all painted bold colors colors and sporting the traditional chrome accents of that time. As the audience watched the cars roll through the spray from the hoses, a wave of fond nostalgia brought smiles to every face. Mr. Vice joked about local high school pranksters, who deliberately parked for days under trees filled with well-fed starlings, hoping to mess up their cars prior to requesting a wash. The last half of the film recorded recorded vintage scenes of Bow- manvillc's old library . It was crowded into one single room and the limited space was hard on the children in the area who could never find any books or even reach them. The library was replaced in a 1957 project conceived by the Rotary Club. The old post office was persuaded to sell its building and a larger library was bom. The club was also responsible for arranging a regular regular grant system for the fledgling fledgling Library Board so that budgets budgets could be planned further ahead, instead of petitioning the government for funds on an annual basis The local Rotarians arc still actively bringing about change in the community. Environmental Environmental concerns arc high on their list now, as they were in the past. While speaking on the subject subject of trees planted by the Bowmanville Rotary Club recently, recently, Mr. Vice thoughtfully suggested that trees might be planted east of the creek, north of the houses, in Soper Creek P ar £' . , , dedicated Rotarian can't help Even at a meeting devoted linking U p wa y S to improve to achievements of the past, a lhe j- u[urc Members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club relived relived some of their club's history during the September September 5 meeting of the club.
