This is an on-line community called a Wikicity created for the use of all Toastmasters and Toastmasters clubs. Anybody (yes, that means You!) can contribute to this Wikicity. Would you like to add to this page? Try it! Click on the "edit" button at the top of this window!
NEWS
- NEWS from the International Speech Competition
- Douglas Kruger writes for us
(If you have other news, simply click on "edit" and start typing!)
- IN South Africa, the government has set up SAQA which allows companies to claim money spent on training back from tax. The catch? The training has to be SAQA compliant. District 74 is working on assessment criteria for the Toastmasters material -- in particular with Speechcraft, to get everything compliant. Click here or on the SAQA link under High Peformance Leadership.
- Southern Africa has done it again. Their speaker is through to the final of the international speech competition to be held on Saturday 27 August 2005.
Good Luck, Douglas Kruger!
LINK YOUR CLUB SITE TO THE WIKICITY
As you can see, this wikicity is a wonderful addition to a club or disctrict site. It hosts information of universal value so that you don't have to clutter up your own club site with it.

That leaves your club and district site free to host member-specific, club-specific and district-specific information.

The mission of this WikiCity is:

- To be a forum for individual clubs to promote themselves to each other and to the public at large.
- To provide a place for people to swap information about resources (timing lights), guest speakers, advanced evaluators and whatever else we need

This Wikicity started as just a District-74 resource. But the original WikiCity creator, User:Erich Viedge, thought it would be better to have a global WikiCity covering all 200,000 Toastmasters, not just those in southern Africa.
