 Toastmaster events cater to the needs of the members. We all know what it is like to take a Saturday away from our families in order to attend an event. It is essential to plan, prepare and deliver a well-organized event to our membership. A high standard of event planning confirms the core values of Toastmasters International:
This page is dedicated to the Valley Town Toastmasters who have selflessly contributed their talents, time and good will to achieving the core values of Toastmasters International through excellent event planning.  January 21, 2012
Sometimes, we can measure our growth by how well we work as a team.
We were able to do so at the Division L Club Officer Training & Work Shop session conducted at Bishop Tonnos High School.
 Eleven of our club members were involved in the planning, organization, presentation, registration and set-up of this busy event.
For example, our registration team was able to accomodate 120 Toastmaster registrations with 30 minutes with minimal delay to the trainees.
Two of our club members, Karen Wood and Kenrick Chin, also presented the training for the Secretary and Treasurer positions.
Four of our club members, Tony Bratschitsch (Division L Governor), Kenrick Chin, Evelyn MacDonald and Beverley Featherstone are pictured in this photo by the "Express Registration" table.
Toastmasters who had not previously registered online were warmly greeted by Valley Town's Geneva Neale (left) and Amy Hunter at one of the "New Registrations" table.
 To reduce line-ups and waiting time for registering Toastmasters, a second "New Registrations" table was administered by Phyllis Miller (left) and Maureen Hills.
 A substantial amount of work was required to set up the tables and chairs in the registration area and inside the main meeting room.
Murray Slaney was a moral and physical pillar of strength in getting everything properly prepared in time for the start of the meeting.
 At 9:00 AM sharp, the Phase II Club Officer Training started with our club president and Division L Governor Tony Bratschitsch addressing the large audience of Toastmasters.
Thank you to the following:

Valley Town Proud! Registrations, District 86 Phase 2 Training - December 4, 2010 Valley Town Toastmasters were honoured and privileged to provide the registration services for the district training at Bishop Tonnos High School in Ancaster. Karen Wood (CC) offered to chair the event planning and, with her team, provided a well prepared and superbly executed process that ensured that incoming Toastmasters were quickly and efficiently registered. Importantly, payments were properly collected and accounted for which also contributed to the overall success of the district training. This registration process featured a table near the school entrance with registration forms and two Toastmasters to greet and guide attendees. Upon filling in the registration forms at the table, attendees were directed to two Registration Tables each having a team of two members to ensure accurate registrations and payments. Pre-registrants (online) were guided to the Pre-Registered Table also having a team of two members. Registration & Payment Forms were designed for simple and efficient processing and Table Signs were located for quick guidance. After the training session, an Operating Procedure was drafted, reviewed and printed for future reference. The Operating Procedure, forms and signs can be located at our Education Centre (Event Planning) and as attachments at the bottom of this page. Karen Wood (CC), Registration Chair, is pictured in the below photo being recognized for her leadership by District 86 Lt. Governor Education & Training Avis Brodie, DTM (right in photo).
