TMTHARUSHISIRIKUMARA Editor-"OasisOutlook"Volume6,Issue01 VicePresidentPublicRelations2023/2024. OasisToastmastersClub,Nittambuwa.
My journey with Toastmasters began in 2019, and from that day to today, it has been a truly wonderful and amazing experience I joined during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, and all our meetings were held online
Despite these challenges, we continued with our online meetings, and I can’t express how valuable those experiences have been. In 2021, during TM Gihan Jayaweera’s year, I was selected as the Vice President of Membership for Oasis Toastmasters Club. This marked a turning point in my Toastmasters journey and my life as a whole. While I had held leadership roles university, Toastmasters was a unique and transformative experience. In that year, except for the President, all other executive members were relatively new to Toastmasters
Yet, together with our dedicated members, we worked tirelessly to make Oasis a significant club in District 82. You all may recall the year when we proudly won the Beyond the Boundaries award at Ovation, even the Golden club award. It was a testament to the dedication and passion of our members.
The following year, I was honored to be selected as the Vice President of Education Alongside Sankhanie and our entire team, we continued the legacy of Oasis Toastmasters Club, taking it to new heights Together, we forged a path of growth and excellence, demonstrating the true spirit of Toastmasters

I understand that this year will pose its own set of challenges for all of us But I also know that with your support, we can overcome anything My dear Oasis members, let us do our best!!!
TM SITHIJI AMARASENA President , 2023/2024
Oasis Toastmasters Club
As the Area Director of Division K, Area 2, I wanted to take a moment to
acknowledge the incredible achievements of your club. Your dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed, and I am honored to be a part of your continued success.
As a result, they were able to achieve 6 DCP points and are working on achieving the rest of the points Recently I completed my first Area Director's visit to Oasis Toastmasters Cub witnessing an awesome meeting. I hope that there will be more and more Toastmasters who are capable of playing a paramount role in the district. Not only the above but also they had Theme Meetings which added a variety to the regular meeting schedule and which made members more engaging.
I would like to wish all the very best to the Oasis Toastmasters Club for their future endeavors.
TM SANKHANIE SURAWEERA AREA DIRECTOR
Area 2 , Division K District 82
Oasis, a standout club in our division, thrives on teamwork rather than individualism, a key factor in its success. The club not only excels internally but also actively supports the division and extends help to other clubs. This cooperative spirit sets Oasis apart, making it a model of sportsmanship and success.
These are few observations that I had by myself with regarding your club I can see that Oasis toastmasters going have very bright future. All the very best for your future activities.
TM METHSIRI HERATH DIVISION DIRECTOR
Division K District 82
After laying the foundation for Oasis Brand during my tenureasVPPRtwoyearsago,
stakeholder feedback underscored the challenge of swiftly enhancing our quality to match the standards of other top clubs in Toastmasters International. Thus, when I assumed the role of Vice President Education (VPE) just four months ago, I initiated a thorough research endeavor to ascertain our members' current standing and understand their shortterm and long-term expectations from Toastmasters.
Following insightful discussions with the Club Executive Committee (Exco), we collaboratively established VPE objectives aligned with Distinguished Club Program (DCP) goals Currently, our achievements stand at an impressive three out of six DCP goals related to education, including nine level completions, four Ice Breakers, and a 100% pathway enrollment rate
A significant milestone for Oasis occurred as, for the first time in history, four members advanced to the Division's speech contest, accompanied by another member progressing to a different division level This accomplishment reflects not only individual growth but also the collective strength of our club
To further enhance the sense of community and shared knowledge, the Oasis Education team and Exco initiated an impactful endeavor – special online club meetings held bi-monthly. These sessions serve a dual purpose: reconnecting past and present members and creating an environment for the exchange of knowledge and experiences. Past members share insights, offering inspiration and guidance to the current generation, fostering a familial atmosphere within Oasis Brand.
The "Lead to the Glory" outbound leadership training session, orchestrated by the VP Educational team for Excos and potential young leaders, emphasized the pivotal role of grooming future leaders
Conducted by an experienced corporate trainer, the session delved into various leadership facets, including effective communication, decision-making, and team building. This initiative aligns with Toastmasters International's ethos that leaders are made through structured modules, drawing from the experiences of established leaders and practical application.
Looking ahead, our commitment extends to external mentor assignments, encouraging mentors to explore the mentor pathway, and providing increased opportunities for club members at the area, division, and district levels. These initiatives, coupled with our continuous focus on connectivity, shared experiences, and leadership development, position Oasis as not merely a club but a nurturing ground for individuals to lead, learn, and leave a lasting legacy
OasisToastmastersClub, Nittambuwa
WANT TO JOIN OASIS?
Give me a call..
First of all, I must say, I’m happy to be the VP Membership of Oasis Toastmasters. Oasis is like my second family. So, as the VP membership I do my best to my family.
The Vice president membership role is a very difficult role in a club because the VP Membership’s job is to gain more members to the club and somehow make them members of the club It was really challenging because of the economic crisis in Sri Lanka, but I could achieve 06 new members, 01 reinstated member, and 91% member retention before last October This is a teamwork All the executive committee members and the VP Membership extended team are always behind me helping to achieve this challenge
Every meeting is a special meeting for me as I became one of the key roles of the meeting in explaining the value of Toastmasters Sometimes I think “Am I talking too much?” No, it was not, becasue that is the ‘service’ that I can give to my club If I become successful, I get a call from a guest after few days “I want to get the membership Please send me the account details and the fee I will transfer the amount ” Those are the most beautiful words I hear as the VP membership
Finally, as the VP Membership what I have to say is that Toastmasters is a good opportunity to connect with people, loose your fear of public speaking, become a better leader, learn about lots of things, work as a team, and have fun This is about more than your payment It will build up your personality, and improve public speaking skills and communication skills So, my dear friends think about your future, Toastmasters is the place where leaders are made

What do you think? Are leaders born or made? Read until the end to find the “answer”
Ibelieve that leaders are made more than born.
There are no ready-made leaders. Individuals become leaders eventually with their experiences and commitment In the process of making leaders, individuals undergo many hardships, challenges, and commitment. In the process of making leaders, individuals undergo many hardships, challenges, and heart breaks. These challenges and hardships are the key elements which shape individuals into charismatic leaders in future.
Many people think that leadership is about giving orders and supervising the process. But real leaders set examples They work with their team. Leader should understand that he/she is doing a team game to achieve a common goal. In that process leader is only a
A good leader is always a good communicator The way he/she talks can influence the people working with him/her Above all, communication is the way we express our ideas to others As a leader, an individual has responsibility to convey his/her ideas coherently without any confusions.
ARE LEADERS BORN OR MADE?
representative of that team and he/she is not the boss.
Sometimes leaders are groomed and made by another leader. A good leader has capability to produce another leader who can inspire lots of people in future. Good leaders won’t create followers. They always create leaders who are capable to withstand challenges and hardships.
As I believe a good leader is always a good listener. As I have already mentioned, a leader is a representative. Therefore, he should represent all the voices. In order to do that he/she needs to be an effective listener.
A good leader is always a good communicator The way he/she talks can influence the people working with him/her. Above all, communication is the way we express our ideas to others As a leader, an individual has responsibility to convey his/her ideas coherently without any confusions.
Good leaders take quick but effective decisions Problem solving skills, analytical thinking and emotional intelligence are some important skills which are necessary for a leader. A leader should win the trust of his team If not he/she is not successful in his/her role. Yes of course, it is difficult to win the hearts of the people. But one can work hard and show people that he/she is the most deserving person.
Good leaders are not high tempered or nervous. They are very calm and ready to face any circumstance with confident The behaviour of the leader affects the people working under that leader If the leader is nervous, for sure his team will come nervous than him
Real leaders inspire people around them. They positively impact on people if any of you are positively influence people, you are a real leader and you can inspire generations coming behind you.
