and Congratulations to our newest Toastmasters!     Look for articles, featuring Somali Broughton, Maxcine Burnette, Candace Harris, and Joseph Washington, in a future issue of The Premier.  ___________________________________________________________ Deposit 'Practice & Experience' in Your Account      Joining Delta Premier Toastmasters, is like opening a savings account. The more you put in, the more you can get out.  When you attend meetings, serve in a meeting role, give prepared speeches, participate in table topics, and serve as a club officer, you are making deposits into your 'account.'       If you are asked to give an opinion on a business or personal issue, you can withdraw some 'impromptu-speaking-experience' from your account.       What if you are asked to be the Speaker of a special meeting or event? No Problem! By giving prepared speeches, outlined in your Communication and Leadership manuals, you save an abundant amount of 'prepared-speaking-experience' too.       That's just the beginning! You can save a wealth of self-improvement and personal-development skills. But, you can only take out what you put in.       Take a look in your account - Do you need to make a Deposit?  ___________________________________________________________ * * IT'S GRAMMAR TIME * * - When do you use may and when do you use can? -       The difference in the use of these words is between being       able (can) and being allowed or permitted (may).       Examples:       Can you give me directions to the meeting?       May I use your telephone?   (may also denotes possiblity.) - How do you use the words might and may? -       May expresses likelihood and might expresses a stronger       sense of doubt.      For Example:       The difference between "You may be right" and "You might be       right" is slight but not insignificant.       If I say you may be right about something, there is a higher degree       of probability that you are right than if I say you might be right.  ____________________________________________________________ JULY WINNERS (only 2 meetings in July due to the holiday) Prepared Speakers         Evaluators               Impromptu Speakers    David Avery                Sharon Marchisello               N/A                David Avery                Duane Phillips                   Judy Eppers    ____________________________________________________________ Humorous Speech Contest - August 8th - OC1 - 3rd Floor - Room 3002 Do you have comments or suggestions?  Send us an email! .
