[tfctoastmasters:657] Talk For Change → Dues are, well, due

Fellow Toastmasters (and soon-to-be Toastmasters),

Re-up with Toastmasters today.

To stay "in good standing" with Toastmasters International, Talk For Change needs your help. 

October 1 (i.e., tomorrow) is the deadline for paying membership dues for th October 2015–April 2016 dues cycle.

If you're an existing member, the fastest way to renew is to contact Omer, our club treasurer, at oipekci91@gmail.com ASAP for a PayPal invoice. You can also log in to toastmasters.org and pay the $36 membership fee and then notify Omer that you will pay the club fee $4 in prompt fashion.

If you're going to join as a new member, you must first fill out the new member application (attached), forward same to Omer and arrange payment of $60 (the $40 mentioned above plus a $20 one-time new member fee).

I apologize for the relatively late notices about this process, but I really encourage you to take advantage of all that Talk For Change (and Toastmasters in general) has to offer: education, camaraderie, entertainment, growth.

The renewals and new memberships are trickling in (thanks to those of you who have gone through the process of renewal/joining this go-round), but with your help, we can do better.

*  *  *  *  *

Okay. On to our next meeting …

WHEN: October 7, 6:45 p.m.

WHERE: Viva Center (1555 Connecticut, 3rd fl.)

WHO: You — in a meeting role (if you haven't yet signed up at bit.ly/tfcsignup [we still need a Topics Master, one Speech Evaluator and a Grammarian])

If you have any questions about the October 7 meeting, Toastmasters or the club, please let me know.

See you next week,

Mark Wills

2015–2016 President, Talk For Change

Great job, Kristen!

Fyi, I will participate in the Area 31 Contest on October 7.  The winner at the Area Contest then goes to the Division C Contest.  The Division winner then goes to the District 36 Contest (which is the highest level for the Fall competitions. )

Greetings Toastmasters and Guests, 

What a great meeting a couple of weeks ago--thanks to Lennette who gave a wonderful first Icebreaker speech and the participation of many, including first time guests Hiwat and Adeja.

Following are some of the highlights from the meeting--(thanks for your patience in awaiting the notes!).  We hope to see everyone at the next meeting on October 7th!

• Jill Vanderweit was the Toastmaster for the evening and laid out the theme out the theme of "Risk" for the evening.  Risk can be good and get us out of our comfort zone.  Jill led the group in short introductions of members of guests.

• Lennette Ward did her Icebreaker Speech, #1 in Competent Communication--" 42 and Still Growing".  It was powerfully delivered and inspirational, filled with great quotes as she shared with us her purpose in life and began the speech with how a sixth grade teacher-Ms. Powell, had influenced her.

• Beth Blair provided the word of the day--"gambit"--which is a sacrifice one can make for an advantage (like in Chess--sacrificing a pawn) or A device, action, or opening remark, typically one entailing a degree of risk, that is calculated to gain an advantage (Oxford), which matched the theme well. 

• Mark Willis introduced table topics, and first time guests Adeja and Hiwat participated, as well as guest Kristin and returning member Catherine, in these table topics that all centered around risks.  The word of the day was used.

• Jill introduced the evaluation team for the evening, including the evaluator of Lennette's speech--Catherine Baum. In her evaluation of Lennette's speech, Catherine expressed that she had enjoyed Lennette's speech, particularly citing Lennette's great use of hand gestures, body language and energy.

• Second time guest Kristin Sullens gave a timer report for the evening, with everyone having done well with their allotted time limits.  Beth Blair followed with a grammarian report, with most doing well with umms or fillers.

• Jill gave the general evaluator report recognizing new guests and appreciating the participation.  She thought next time for table topics, members should go first before guests, so new guests are able to see how table topics works.  Nonetheless, everyone did a great job jumping in.

• Mark and Jill ended the meeting with club business including collection of dues and membership process.  Please contact Omer if you have questions: oipekci91@gmail.com. Jill expressed interest in participating in a (district?) contest for humorous speeches and table topics that is being conducted in DC on October 7th.  Mark encouraged people to sign up for new roles for the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned!  See you in a week--

weird software for real estate

I found something that's going to save you a lot of time finding great real estate investingn opportunities.

Here's how you can find more deals faster than you probably think is even possible… Let me introduce you to my friend Kosta Apostolou. He's a fellow real estate investor who's buying properties 60-80% below market value here in the US.

But here's the cool part… Kosta is from Toronto, Canada and he doesn't even leave home (let alone his country) to find these deals.

   

 He finds them all online using a super-simple piece of software he created which pretty much finds these deals on AUTO-PILOT!

I was totally blown away when I saw this and felt I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't share it with you.

Imagine having a virtually ENDLESS supply of below market value properties?

What would that do for your real estate investing business?

Well, my crazy Canadian friend found a way to do this. And he's going to share exactly how you can do it too!

I have to be honest with you… The "traditional" ways of finding real estate investing deals still work. In fact, I use a lot of them on a daily basis because they just plain work.
But what if there was a way to find more deals, and find them faster and more efficiently?
That doesn't mean we throw out what works and just pray that this new approach works better.
No way!
But it's always good to see how others play the game and take the bits and pieces of what they do well and incorporate it into our own business.
In school, they taught us that copying others was "bad" and "wrong". In fact, if you copied someone else, you were probably punished in some way.

Business is different. In the business world, if you copy the actions of successful people, chances are, you will be REWARDED, not punished!

So where am I going with this? Yesterday I sent you an email about my Canadian real estate investing friend who created a piece
of software that finds great real estate investing opportunities on auto-pilot.

This is a totally new way of going about the deal-finding process and I really think it can help you find a lot more deals faster than what you're probably doing now.

And the best part is, it's fast, it's efficient, and it's easy-to-use!

Take a look for yourself and see what pieces you can incorporate into your real estate investing business.

[tfctoastmasters:654] Will you continue to "talk for change" in 2016?

All,

First things first: If you haven't yet paid or arranged to pay your October 2015–April 2016 dues — either as a new or existing member — you have one week left (okay, eight days to be exact [October 1]) to do so. For more information, please review my note from last week (and, if needed, the new member application).

Second, a reminder that our next meeting is not next Wednesday but the following Wednesday (October 7) — same Bat time, same Bat channel as always (6:45 p.m., Viva Center [1555 Connecticut, 3rd flr.]). We have plenty of meeting roles available:

• Topics Master
• Two Speech Evaluators
• Grammarian
• Timer

Get your spot now!

As you may have noticed, we need two Speech Evaluators as Kristin will be giving her Ice Breaker speech and a friend of mine from my old club (International Chatmasters [21st and K]) will be our "guest" speaker, as it were. In other words, there will be a lot of opportunities to learn, listen and grow at that meeting.

If you have any questions about the October 7 meeting, Toastmasters, the club or membership, please let me know.

Best,

Mark Wills

[wapadc] call for papers; Migration

CALL FOR PANELS AND PAPERS

The 16th  conference of  the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) will be hosted by  the Centre for Migration Studies, the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology, and the Faculty of Law and Public
Administration at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland from July 12-15, 2016.

Abstracts are due by February 1, 2016.

IASFM 16:
Rethinking Forced Migration and Displacement: Theory, Policy, and Praxis

Introduction
The 16 th   conference of IASFM will take place on July 12-15, 2016 at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland. It will be hosted by the Centre for Migration Studies, the Institute
of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology, and the Faculty of Law and Public Administration.
This is the first time that IASFM members will gather in Central Europe. The setting for the 16th
IASFM conference is especially important as we watch the most recent refugee crisis unfold in
Europe, including in countries that historically were refugee-producing spaces and now have to
provide durable solutions for forced migrants fleeing armed conflicts and asking for refuge in
Europe. These developments constitute a significant opportunity to rethink and redefine forced
migration. Existing concepts and definitions are rooted in historical transformations--political,
legal and social—that led to refugee movements post-World War II and during the Cold War, but
are they appropriate for the diversity and complexity of the 21st
 century forced migration?
International responses to recent conflicts in Syria and Ukraine have resulted in a heated public
debate about who belongs in Europe and who does not. However, similar debates about whether
refugees should be accepted or not are also taking place elsewhere in the world. Therefore, it is
time to engage in discussion involving researchers and  practitioners on  when, how and why
forced migrants have "the right to have rights", to quote Hannah Arendt. The answers to these
extremely sensitive political problems should be the subject of deep analysis involving social
scientists, legal  scholars, historians, and representatives  of humanitarian  organizations, policy
makers, and when possible refugees. Such interdisciplinary perspectives will give the participants
of the IASFM 16 the opportunity to develop a deeper reflection on forced migration concepts,
definitions,   and   issues   from   historical   and   contemporary   as   well   as   regional   and   global
perspectives.

Themes
The   Program   Committee   is   pleased   to   invite   colleagues   in   forced   migration   studies   and
practitioners working with forced migrants to submit proposals for  Organized Paper Panels,
Roundtables, and Individual Papers for sessions to be created by the Committee.  We will give
preference   to   organized   panels   and   roundtables   over   individual   papers.   However,   we   will
circulate panel proposals through the IASFM Listserv and Facebook in order to connect panel
organizers with authors of individual papers to facilitate fruitful collaboration.  Below is a list of
themes around which paper panels and roundtables should be organized. We might consider panel
proposals on additional  sub-themes, but they must  correspond  with the  overall  theme of the
conference Rethinking Forced Migration and Displacement: Theory, Policy, and Praxis.
 

 
Rules of participation
Conference   participants   may   only   make   one   paper   presentation.   In   addition   to   a   paper
presentation, they may also play a second role: organize/chair a panel and/or roundtable or be a
discussant on a panel or roundtable.

Paper Panels
The Program Committee will give preference to panel proposals over individual papers. Panels
organized on the basis of any of the proposed themes will ensure cohesive discussions throughout
the   conference.   The   Committee   will   look   favorably   on   imaginative   panels   that   incorporate
comparative perspectives, cross-disciplinary boundaries, and engage debates between scholars
and   practitioners   and   when   possible   forced   migrants.   We  will   limit   panels   to   a   maximum
of two consecutive ninety-minute sessions, each of which can hold a maximum of four papers.
Paper presentations should last between 15-20 minutes allowing for discussion and questions
from the audience.

Roundtable Discussions
The Program  Committee   encourages   organization   of   roundtable  discussions  involving   forced
migration scholars, policy-makers, practitioners, and if possible refugees and forced migrants.
Roundtables might also be a good venue for doctoral students and young migration scholars to
exchange   ideas   about   research   ethics,   methodological   issues,   peer   review,  etc.   Roundtables
organized by doctoral students might also involve editors or experts from whom the emerging
scholars would  like to   learn. Roundtable  discussions   are limited   to 90  minutes.  There is  no
possibility of having a double roundtable session. The number of participants in a roundtable
should not exceed six persons to allow for a robust discussion and questions from the audience.
Individual papers
As indicated above, we will give preference to panel and roundtable proposals, but will consider
individual papers provided that they correspond with one of the themes proposed above.


Submission of panel, roundtable, and paper proposal
All   panel,   roundtable,   and   paper  proposals   must  be   submitted   online   by  February  1,   2016
through the following link: http://tinyurl.com/ns99dzd . Late submissions will not be accepted. If
you  experience  any  technical  difficulties  in  submitting your  abstract,  please  contact  Michele
Millard at mmillard@yorku.ca.

Language
The official language of the IASFM is English. All papers and roundtable discussions must be presented in English.
Requests   for   further   information   can   be   made   to   the   following   email   address:  iasfm16@gmail.com.

This project provides literally tons of free, fresh and nutritious food to AFAC, and this month, DCYP is going to help by picking apples at a local orchard! We participated in this project last year, and even discovered the local farmers market with apple cider and other fresh apple goodies. To RSVP: email dcyp.service@gmail.com and let us know if you are able to help drive, or if you would like help coordinating a carpool. Additional details will be forwarded to volunteers this week.

 LOOKING FOR PERMANENT HOUSING

***8/29 Hey All! My name is Matt Devine, a 2015 Economics and Peace Studies major from the lovely Knott Hall (Mod Quaders take on DC!). I just moved to Washington DC last week and am living in Woodley Park with a good friend of mine, but am looking for more permanent housing. Would like to stay under $800-1,100/month in rent, but am a little flexible on that.  Shoot me an email at matthewmdevine@gmail.com if you or anyone you know is looking for roommates! Thanks and Go Irish! :)***

*** 8/3 Hi! My name is Christopher Brown; I graduated from the College of Arts and Letters at ND in 2015. I'm going to be starting a new job in early August, and I'm looking for new housing.

I'm looking to move in early to mid-August.  Shoot me an email at cbrown35@alumni.nd.edu  or christopherbrown351@gmail.com  if you have a place or are interested in looking for one together. Thanks!***
