Election fever

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Even on vacation you cannot avoid the American Presidential election. Every newspaper, television and radio programme has a programme or an interview about it. It seems most people have an opinion on the candidates although there will always be the “Don’t knows”. The stakes in that election are very high, of course, but there are others where it is prestige rather than power that is at stake. Such is the case where candidates vie for election in a Club or association committee election campaign. This might be for the Presidency of a charitable organization such as the Lions club or for the chairman of a business association.
The American presidential election is, of course, the big one but there are also elections for Mayor in countries all over the world. While his or her influence might not be so far-reaching he or she can make a huge difference locally.
We often forget that electioneering starts at school level with student election to college council campaigns. The stakes may not be as high but the rhetoric and the
heckling are just as exciting and the campaign doesn’t cost millions!

Summer time and the living is easy.

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Summer time is coming and the living may be easy. It is certainly, though, a time for fairs and fetes. Someone has to declare them open and that person could be you. So you should start by welcoming the guests and speak about what the fair or fete means to the local community. You speak about the attractions at the fair and how it is a time for enjoyment and fun and maybe time to bag a bargain. You speak of the reason for it and thank the committee for the hard work that went into preparing it. Your speech should say something about the reason you are having the fete and what will be done with the funds raised. Overall your speech should make people feel good about themselves and good about supporting such a worthwhile cause. If it does your speech will be a success and hopefully, the funds raised will reflect this.
