Any current District 6 Toastmasters who have been members for at least 25 years who are not on the list above may contact Dick Nyberg, 4605 Bassett Creek Lane, Golden Valley, Minnesota 55422, Phone 763-588-5019 , email rpnyberg@earthlink.net. The Toastmasters membership does not have to be continuous nor does it have to be entirely within District 6. Those who have been Toastmasters for a total of at least 25 years and are still members in District 6 will automatically be listed in the 25-year directory and invited to the annual reception at the Spring Convention each year. There are no dues or other requirements for membership in the 25-Year Association.

In addition, any members who have been Toastmasters for at least 20 years are asked to contact Dick so that we can get you in the database to ensure that you get an invitation to the reception when you reach 25 years.
