Moments of Truth
As of now, 28 clubs have submitted Moments of Truth. Particularly 3 clubs out of 4 clubs have done in Area 11 and Area 84. I sincerely appreciate TM Chia-huei and TM Mori’s leadership as Area Directors.
“Moments of Truth” is one of very useful tools to assess your club and improve the club quality. Although it’s not mandatory, I’d like to encourage all clubs to conduct Moments of Truth and submit it by 31st December, which is also one of criteria to achieve Excellent Quality Club Award (one submission / club).

Announcements from Club Growth Director
Greetings
The first half of this term is flying away. It was a challenging time for most of us since many clubs were suffered from membership drop due to COVID-19. However I was amazed by our members’ energy and creativity demonstrated through an alley of online events they organized to explore new possibilities.
Now we are getting use to online meetings and I can see a slight sign of membership recovery. The number of new members joining existing clubs in our district per a month has returned to normal since October. I hope the resilience we cultivated this year will provide a springboard for a leap in the New Year.
Thank you so much for your strong support as ever. I wish you all wonderful holidays and very happy New Year.

YouTube Interview Series
Check out the latest interview video with former District Governor Kiminari Azuma, who tells us about his life-changing moment when he stepped outside the comfort of his new Toastmasters club and attended the Japan Annual Speech Contest.
That helped spur him to compete and led him all the way to the International Speech semifinals in Phoenix, Arizona, where his jokes didn’t go as planned. See more here,
