Everything is Poppin'!
(click on the picture)

 
This is always an exciting time of year! Conference, Elections, Spring! Everything is poppin’! It is an exciting time to be a Toastmaster and even more exciting to be a District 25 Toastmaster!! 

There is something about the energy in a room when you get Toastmasters together! The Banner Parade, Friday Night Fun, the keynote speakers, the education sessions, contests, hospitality, the DTM Ceremony!! So much to do!

 
I remember my first conference; I was surprised at the fullness of activities for the member! We started early and went late… and later than that, were the countless volunteers who packed up and cleared out. I knew then that Toastmasters was an organization that I wanted to fully be a part of! Best of all,  I

 
had the good fortune to live in District 25 where I was warmly welcomed and quickly put to work!

I hope you were able to spend some time this weekend reconnecting with longtime friends and meeting new ones!

I hope you learned something new in one of the many education sessions. 

I hope you were Inspired this weekend. I was.

We celebrated our members and their accomplishments this Toastmaster year, we laughed, I cried, and I cannot wait to do it all again with you next year!


District 25, I am Inspired by YOU

FEATURING


AIRPORT TOASTMASTERS

by JILL MORRISON, DTM

There’s a party going on with
Airport Toastmasters


 
Just like Kool and the Gang said “There’s a party going on right here; a celebration to last throughout the years!” It’s the month of May and we have a lot to celebrate. First, it was ‘may the Fourth be with you’, then Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day.  Add in the annual conference and Memorial Day and you have quite a party going on. In addition, Airport Toastmasters had its own party going on celebrating the good times and laughter too.

First, we celebrated two awesome speeches. Jon gave a speech on celebrating his pursuit of power. Boy, has he found his power... maybe even his superpower. If you want to hear all about his pursuit, come watch him Saturday May 14th at the District International Speech Contest. The second speech was given by Sarfaraz who took a leap of faith and found success and dare I say happiness. He ended
his speech with a call to action to pay it forward where he literally paid a woman $20 to help her take a leap.
 
Next up was table topics with some powerful questions about celebrations. Did you know Cinco de Mayo is really about Mexico’s victory over the Second French empire at the battle of Puebla and not about parties, Mexico food and tequila? But keeping in the celebration theme, we also heard about other holidays. Like, what kind of fruit or vegetable Jon would give as a Halloween treat. Personally, if I were a kid, I’d say that was a trick! We heard about favorite holidays, like Christmas, and favorite festivals. Did you know a festival can last a whole month? Rebecca likes the Festival of Love, which is found in February with celebrating the love of our presidents as well of valentine day’s love.

We ended our celebration with some good old fashion evaluations. Jill and Pallavi gave our speakers some good times and laughter (also known as glows and grows) to help them with their next rendition of their speeches.

Now, if want to have a good time and celebrate all throughout the year, check out Airport Toastmasters!
