Toastmasters District 74

One of the greatest motivators is to share in the success of a fellow Toastmaster.

Adolph P Kaestner, AC g, CL, DTM and PDG epitomises what can be achieved if you put your mind to
learning and putting into practice what you learn.

Adolph (Dolf) Joined Toastmasters in 1983 (The Nib Club ) and within 18 moinths he had achieved his first

CC (Since done 12 more) and in 2 years his AC. Dolf Became embroiled in the administration of the club ,
then Area and was Are Governor of the year in 1986. In the same year he became D74 Lt Gov. Marketing
and then went on to become the District Governor in 1988/89. Under Dolf’s “maverick” and “young turk”
Leadership District 74 achieved Distinguished, in fact Select Distinguished Status # 7 worldwide for the first
time since we became a district 10 years earlier. Dolf has completed every manual and workshop available
in the TM catalogue and is currently still the most decorated Toastmaster in D74’s history.

After giving over 13 years to the Movement as an administrator, trainer and leader Dolf decided it was
time to get into the Speaking side of Toasties and in 1996 he won the International Prepared contest and
Represented D74 at the World Champs in the USA. He also holds the D74 Evaluation Title and 3 rd polace
in the D74 Impromptu.

The next challenge was to enter the Professional Speaking Circuit. Adolph did this in 1992 on a part time
basis and then in 2003 he gave up a very successful career of 30 years in the Bank to follow his dream of
becoming a Professional Speaker, Trainer and Mentor. He is presently following this career and has just
been elected President of the PSASA (Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa) for 2012/13.

For those of you thinking you want to follow the same route why not give Adolph a call and meet with him
to see how and what it takes to do this.

THE GIVER GIVES HIS LAST LESSON
Adrian Spruyt DTM joined Toastmasters in 1969 when there were but a few clubs in Southern Africa.
As a man with strong views and opinions he soon made his mark in the movement and after serving in his club and the then Council of Southern Africa he was elected as Chairman in 1976. This was just 2 years before we became a fully fledged District in 1978.
