District 25’s Fall Conference
“The Greatest Show on Earth” had amazing attendance, exciting educational
sessions, enthusiastic contests, fun and games, and best of all, accolades from
our VIP, International President John Lau ,
DTM!
The Conference Committee
A conference is like a three
ring circus, and with Ringmaster Cindy Hinckley as Conference Chair, each event
created excitement and fun. Cindy is a wonderful leader whose vision and attention
to detail are remarkable. With the precision of a circus acrobat, she oversaw her
committee chairs, providing the needed guidance and information to make each contribution
outstanding. I would like to extend my congratulations to her and our
Conference Committee for making our event one in which every attendee felt
welcome, where all found opportunities for education, growth, and fellowship,
and where each volunteer and committee chair was able to demonstrate teamwork
and leadership skills. Great work on The
Greatest Show on Earth!
A VIP (A Very Inspirational
President!) Visit
Having International President John and his gracious wife Rebecca among us
made the conference extra special for all of us. John made each person he met
understand that individual commitment to
Toastmasters is the key to our organization’s success. In his inspirational
keynote, John retold encounters he has had in his travels throughout the U. S.
In each story, he told of finding potential members for Toastmasters from among
the people he met. John encouraged each of us to be ambassadors for our amazing
organization and to consider ourselves as shareholders in our “corporation.” He
also revealed an exciting plan he calls “1+1.”
If each Toastmaster finds one more person to enlist, then John’s vision of
Toastmasters growing to 3 million people around the world can be realized. With
John’s contagious enthusiasm and commitment, I have no doubt that this can
happen!!
See You at the Top!
John commented very favorably
on our District’s website, which he
says contains materials that enable other districts around the world to become
Distinguished. He also was very impressed by our Outstanding Officer Awards and our lovely Distinguished Toastmasters Ceremony. He noted the teamwork that our
group embraces and encouraged the leadership team by saying, “See you at the top!” John also shared
his personal story with us and encouraged us to share our stories with others. Because
of his encouragement and faith in us, your district officers are more committed
than ever to leading the district to Distinguished status. The Conference
Committee and your District officers extend our sincerest appreciation to John and Rebecca for joining us and for
contributing to our conference, helping make it The Greatest Show on Earth!
A Fond Farewell (for now) to
Our Famous Visitor
I have a dream that District 25 will be on stage in Cincinnati John Lau to be honored for being a Distinguished
District.
PLEASE HELP US
MAKE THIS DREAM A REALITY!

TO MAKE OUR
DISTRICT DISTINGUISHED IN 2012-2013!
