It’s been a while since I last posted on here. It’s been that kind of summer. Other than working a lot, I really haven’t done much besides stay at home, work on my Spanish with Duolingo, and take a few trips outside the house. Since leaving WIS, I don’t travel for work like I used to and that’s a good thing. But in a way, it’s also felt like a culture shock.
In my first blog in over a month, I’ll post three things that really stood out during this less than active (at least for me) summer.
The first thing was our first in person club officer training since December 2019.
We held our first in person Toastmasters training event since December 2019, just before the world shut down because of the pandemic. The event was held at Westmoreland County Community College. Overall, it went very well. We had a hybrid event, meaning some people attended in person and others attended online. It looks like hybrid is going to be the way to go, for better or worse.
The theme was very summery and we were greeted with leis being put on us. As for the training, it went very well. We learned a lot from our presenters and officer breakout sessions. Greensburg also got credit for their officers being training (you have to have a minimum of four officers trained to get credit for the Distinguished Club Program).
Future District 13 Toastmasters events include this Saturday’s Fall Symposium, and the next club officer training which will be held December 3 at the same place that it always is. Looking ahead to 2023, the Spring Conference will be held in April in the South Hills (time, date, and location are tentative and may be subject to change).
