FIELD NOTES

Three To Tango

Megha Jindal, PM4

Building or updating a club website often rests in that pile of 100 nice-to-do things that usually never-get-

done. This year our club, Empower Toastmasters, took inspiration from a Wednesday’s Wonderful Webinar
by District 7 to roll up our sleeves and get it done. It took us three months, three muskeeters and three
tons of perseverance to make it to the finish line. Should you decide to embark upon this adventure, here
are a few lessons we learned from ours.

Start Strong

Starting on a high note will fuel you for the long road ahead

Our club VP-PR and I joined the Spruce Up Your Website webinar led by DTM
Phyllis. This session sparked our enthusiasm to revamp our website. We instantly
recruited a third member to our team, created “Project Moonshine,” announced it

to our committee, and held our first meeting. This initial energetic outburst set us
up successfully for the ride ahead.

Begin with the End

Setting an inspirational yet realistic end goal will keep you on track

Our VP-PR, Tchissole, helped do this in our very first project meeting. After a wide-sweeping
brainstorming, we narrowed our target. We agreed to revamp our website to appeal to
guests. We would focus on seven key pages and get it done by February 2021. Dynamic

content and other nice-to-have features would wait for the next Version.
