Toastmasters Internationa has crowned a new World Champion of Public Speaking at this year’s virtual International Convention. One of these years I’ll attend the big event. Maybe next year or in 2023. I remember when Aaron Beverly won the title two years ago and then proceeded to give that championship speech at our 2019 Fall Symposium held at the Ramada in Greensburg (now demolished).
Congratulations to Distinguished Toastmaster Jackey Collier for accepting the nomination of District 13 Club Growth Director. She takes on the role as Stephanie Scott moves up to the Program Quality Director role in light of the resignation of Dr. Elizabeth Carter. I wish Jackey the best as she joins the trio and the best to our clubs as well as they go after their goals for 2021-22.
1943 was definitely a year of many firsts for District 13. It saw the formation of areas in the District. Toastmaster Magazine began showcasing the best of various club bulletins (newsletters). I love that name Waynesburg came up with. Toasties sounds very clever. Speaking of the formation of areas, whoever has Area 1 must be dreading that commute to Wilkes Barre. Somebody put me up in a hotel please?
I wonder where that Lieutenant Governor name came from. We used to have them in the trio before the titles changed. Director sounds better.
Looking forward to next week’s throwback, Dana, Bob, and Kat.
