Watch the stars shine for each goal

Clubs attending TLI this summer receive a gold ribbon for
their banners. Clubs will use the banner to measure their march toward
Distinguished Club recognition in the 2012-2013 year.

Caution: This ribbon is different from the ones
your club has earned in the past. This ribbon is a visual reminder of the goals
your club must meet in order to be Distinguished in 2012-2013,
the upcoming Toastmasters year, NOT a reward for past success in the
previous Toastmasters year ending June 30, 2012!

On the ribbon are 10 boxes, one for each DCP goal that all
Toastmasters clubs are supposed to pursue during each club year. A link to
these goals may be found at https://www.d25toastmasters.org/resources/files/DCPWorksheet.doc.

Ten stars lead to the BIG ONE

Each club receives 10 small and one large star to go on the
ribbon. As your club completes each DCP goal, place a star onyour ribbon to
mark this measure of your club’s success.

After the March 30
dues renewal, place the large star at
the top when the club has met the membership
goal: Having 20 or more members or a net growth of 5 for clubs with a base of
12 or fewer. (Note: Clubs that picked up stars June 30 TLI did not get a
large star. Just ask for one at an upcoming district event. This project has
evolved since June 30! We just keep on gettin’ better and better!)

During the 2011-2012 Toastmasters year, 88 of our clubs were
Distinguished, Select Distinguished or President’s Distinguished. During the
2012-2013 year, we want every club to be
Distinguished or better! Your club’s new DCP ribbon will help you keep your
club’s goals before you in a fun way.
