Nina john – District 82 Governor

“CCC is an example of Toastmasters at its colloborative

best.The need for a club in velacherry had been voiced for a long time,

but it was Divya’s decision and determination to take it up that saw it

coming through.The support Sarovelrajan as Division Governor and S N

Venkatesh now,the early support from Mohana, Dharma, Thothadri and

so many of the seniors has helped it grow.

They used Facebook to make CCC a ‘Happening’ place that all the

toastmasters in Tamilnadu know all about. I wish CCC all the best at its

chartering and for its journey forward.”

Saro- IP Div G Governor(Mentor of CCC)

“CCC is a true example of Alfred Lord Tennyson's words

"Men may come and men may go... but, I go on forever". In the last 6

months, I have seen several leaders emerge and have taken this club to

success. What we see today is the result of the hard work by several

toastmasters - who had a dream of making CCC into reality! It was not a

smooth sail. The club officers had to make countless sacrifices. They kept

CCC Digest

their differences aside and focused on the common goal of making CCC

successful. Today, CCC can fly on its own. We have 21 registered members

who are determined to take the club to greater heights.

CCC is now officially a toastmasters club! With more power, comes more

responsibility. Let us continue to help each other in becoming better

communicators and leaders. Let us continue to take the benefits of

toastmastering to more new members. I'm eagerly waiting for the day in

which CCC will have 50+ members and celebrating its 100th meeting.”

Go CCC ! Go...

Karthikeyan Srinivasan – DIV G Governor

“CCC for me stands for Communication, Confidence & Commitment! And it

is exactly these three characteristics that I have seen in you guys over the

last few months in realizing the dream of CCC; resulting in the Charisma

that you guys have developed!”

Venkatesh S Natarajan – DIV N Governor

“I am excited to be a part of a young, exuberant and expressive club, CCC.

CCC Digest

The club has embraced high meeting standards right from the start, and it

is indeed rare. The club has a dedicated and committed team attracting

senior toastmasters regularly coming to the meetings.

I am convinced that the club is poised to be a representative club of TMI

in this community. I wish CCC a glorious future.”

Rajesh Natarajan – Area N 3 Governor

“Margaret Creed said “never think if a small group of people can do

wonders. In fact that is the only way people have achieved.”Like a child’s

CCC was born, crawled for long time, took steps slowly but steadily. Today

this child is standing tall and marching towards making history. I am sure

this child will make a difference to many lives.”

Suganthi Periasamy- Area Governor G2

“I am thrilled and excited to know that Chennai Communicators Club has

been officially chartered. I am all the more happy for Saro, Divya,

Dharma, Siva Thanu and the entire team of CCC. This young and dynamic

CCC Digest

team has proved many of us wrong - those many of us who had doubts

about CCC. We are glad that this team is part of the Toastmasters

fraternity in Chennai - we now look up to you to learn about how to

stay focused and achieve results. Above all your

Determination, Perseverance, Patience, Faith, Trust and Diligence is

mind-blowing.

Hats off to these young leaders and the entire CCC team for reaffirming to

us that Hard Work, Patience and Success go hand in hand. You are

definitely a class apart and am sure, we all will look up to you for life's

lesson.

Wish you a wonderful Toastmasters journey and hope to see the Club DCP

10/10 soon :-)”

From the Director’s Desk:

Divya Sivakumar – President

“A year and a half ago, I heard one of my friends say "The journey to the

beginning" as the title of her debut novel. Although there was something

strangely amazing about the title, it sounded logically inconsistent and left

me wondering how reaching the starting point of anything can be a

"journey" in itself. However, after 6 months of running Chennai

Communicators Club (CCC), I am forced to revisit that thought. To every

beginning, there certainly is a stormy, rough journey. I am glad that we

sailed over them and have made it a fairly comfortable state today.

Congratulations to all the club members and other Toastmasters who

CCC Digest

stayed along the times and made this happen. This note will be

incomplete if I don't make a mention of - My mother, for putting up with

my running around building the club; DTM Aditya Maheshwaran for his

guidance and support in all my leadership projects; and my best-friends

who would give me stand-alone compensation birthday treats in the

weekdays. CCC as an entity would've never become a reality but for the

contributions of club mentor DTM Saro Velrajan, TM Sivakumar.V,

Division Governor TM Venkatesh Nagarajan and the executive-committee

members.

Wishing CCC a high-spirited Toastmasters journey that empowers the

leaders of tomorrow!”

Excerpts from cast and crew:

Srihari

I heard about CCC from the club president and my best friend, Divya. I started coming to CCC

from the 10th meeting onwards and I am happy to say that I haven't missed even one meeting

since then. Before coming into CCC, I knew that I was a good speaker, but, if there was one

flaw, it was the fact that I never did scripts. Even if it was a very important speech, I was so

confident in my ability to make something up, on the spot that I never had anything prepared

beforehand. Now, thanks to CCC I understand the importance of preparation and more than

anything else, I have grown more confident, with each passing meeting.

If there is one thing that is unique about CCC, it is the fact that it has a great mix of up and

coming toastmasters and seasoned stalwarts, ready to guide them through. Most of all, I love

the fact everybody loves to take up a role and there isn't a single person in the room, who has

the same role every week. There is always a change, which is great to see.

Finally, as far as my mission for CCC goes, it is only this; I hope to see the whole room filled, like

CCC Digest

it was in the 24th meeting. And I would love to see more college students, studying in the

nearby colleges to come in and join in on all the fun.

Akshaya

I first read about CCC in the Downtown supplementary issue, the article had covered the

highlights of the zeroth meeting and before i even finished reading,I knew I was going to be a

part of Toastmasters:)

I was an avid speaker during my school days but subsequently lost touch with public speaking.

TMI provides the perfect platform to rant my ideas and revive my long lost passion :)

CCC is an optimal mix of people who are ready to teach and those ready to learn. In short, an

"EXTENDED FAMILY".

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! So let’s put our thoughts for CCC in action. I have no

doubts, CCC would scale Herculean heights, and I just want to be instrumental in helping CCC

achieve such greats!

Thothathri Sadagoppan

I came to know about CCC from our common friend in Facebook :)

CCC is a new club with plenty of opportunity to mentor many young toastmaster, in this way its

CCC Digest

mutual Learning.

It has Young dynamic energetic & committed TM voluntarily grouped together for improving

their communication. Many senior TM like DTM Saro, TM S N Venkatesh, Area Governor TM

Rajesh supporting this young team.

For me, CCC should become No1 club in Division 82 for Quality of meeting & developing

proficient public speaker.

Dharma-

I came to know about CCC club from DTM Saro when he attended TCS –orators chartering

ceremony. I was quite impressed by the diversified set of personalities and topics discussed

during the meeting. Also, spearheading a baby club was quite challenging and it helped me to

improve my leadership skills. I envision CCC to groom and build many leaders to create an

impact in the society.

Sivathanu

I am aware of CCC during a TM meet at Medleys,Adyar.I attended the following meeting of CCC

along with Dharma. It was quite a challenging task to nurture a baby club like CCC.Dharma

along with Saro did a fantabulous job. They kept the momentum alive and it’s because of their

dedication and hardwork, we are marching into the25th meeting. Kudos to Saro,Dharma,Divya

and team. May our club reach heights in the days to come and create positive changes in our

society.
