🎉🎉🎉Dear Area F4 community!

🎄🎄🎄Let me congratulate you all with upcoming holidays and New Year eve! Let me also share with you our progress and what lays ahead.

🤝As you may already know, our Area joined Division F under the District 108 and became a part of huge Toastmasters International Districts’ families in September. Almost half year through, we formed Area team, Area Council, and tried our best to catch up with TMI timeline.

❕❗️Area team put some serious efforts to catch up with TMI and our District’s timeline. Our efforts paid off, we are the first area in our division, who completed all half year milestones:
1. Hosting first Club Officers Training.
2. Fulfilling the duties of visiting an active Area Clubs.
3. Helping Clubs with the contests and organizing Area contest.
4. Preparing Area success plan, which included our rules of dedication, support, our focus on keeping all our area clubs in a good standing.
5. Hosting 2 Area Council meetings.

❗️❕Doing all of the milestones we have faced many different challenges as our understanding of TMI policies and procedures was not always accurate. Yet, we know, that is only beginning! We have many plans for next half year, which includes:
1. Hosting Club Officers Training in January.
2. Helping with Club contests in February.
3. Organizing the Area contest in March.
4. Completing Club visits by Area Director in March and April.
5. Voting for the next Area Director in April or May.
6. Celebrating the end of the Area and Clubs accomplishments on Area Council in June.

📌And that is only the official part. We are also working on putting together Area Budget Guidebook. Yet, one of our biggest effort is to get all active clubs in Kazakhstan in a good standing, which is one of hardest tasks we are facing today, overcoming the challenges put by a pandemic and it’s consequences. And despite the progress made seems to be slow, we are moving toward it and we will hope we will get all active clubs in Kazakhstan back - strong and united. Together we can face challenges ahead and push forward to put our name boldly on a Toastmasters International map. Let’s continue our service with excellence and efforts to strive for integrity with respect!

Happy New Year,
Area F4 Director
Kanat Bazaraly
