What is a Distinguished Club? Toastmasters International recognizes Toastmaster clubs that show the club is energetic, welcoming, growing and organized and that the club members are achieving their objectives. A club that achieves 5 out of 10 goals and either grows by 5 members or has a membership of over 20 is awarded Distinguished club. So far, CTI has achieved 5 goals. Being recognized as a Distinguished Club is not just a numbers game, it's an award that is earned by running a club that meets member needs.
CTI Techtalkers now has Distinguished Club status with Val's ACGold! We are now only 2 goals away from Select Distinguished.
Other levels of Distinguished Club status are: Select Distinguished Club (achieve 7 out of 10 goals), President's Distiguished Club (achieve 9 out of 10 goals).

Division J Rocks at District Contests
Nine entertaining, hilarious contestants had the audience laughing for two hours at the District 42 Humorous Speech contest on Nov 13, 2010 in Canmore. Garrett Ulmer, from Division J, came first with his funny story about childhood pranks, titled "Why are Kids so Bad? Jody Fireman, from Division G, came second.
On Friday night, Nov 12, the nine Table Topics contestants entertained us with stories around the question "If you had three wishes, what would you wish for and why?" Audience members said afterwards that the table topics contest was like a bonus mini-humorous speech contest. Kelly Kaur, from Division G, won first place and Nandini Venkatesan, from Division J, came second.
