When he approached Rajesh Natarajan, he told that try giving one speech a month and complete one project per month and try to attend meetings at least 4 weeks in a month. Try to communicate with every member in the club and even with the guests. This is not only helping others but it indirectly helps us. In order to bring new members to the club, excomm has to do so many adjustments. It is our own duty to bring guests and inform people about toastmasters’ organization.
