May 2005                                              “Changing Lives One Step at a Time”

 

Greetings District Leaders!  When you communicate with the clubs, encourage them to read the monthly newsletter.

 

Area Visits: The deadline to complete the second round visit has passed. All Area Governor reports should have been submitted by now. If you were not able to visit a club before the deadline, I encourage you to visit the club before June 30, 2005. While there is no “credit” for this visit, every club deserves to have a District Officer visit them.

 

Club Leads Do you have an idea for a new club? We need club leads. Please contact Jeannette at jeannette@d6tm.org with any ideas that you have.

 

Toastmaster of the Year and Area Governor of the Year Awards: Each club in an Area should select a Club

Toastmaster of the Year. The form that they should use can be downloaded from www.d6tm.org. Clubs should forward

the name and form for their TMOY to their Area Governor by May 31, 2005. Area Governors need to select the Area Toastmaster of the Year by June 15, 2005. At that time, the name and form for the Area TMOY should be submitted to the Division Governor. Division Governors should select their Division TMOY by June 30, 2005. Division Governors should also select the Division Area Governor of the Year at the same time. The names and forms for the

Division TMOY and AGOY should be submitted to the District Governor by July 2nd. On Saturday, July 9th, the District

TMOY and AGOY will be chosen by a committee made up of Division Governors and top officers. More details to follow.
