ights, Curtain, Action! Fellow Toastmasters, we are just days away from realizing one of the most exciting events on our District’s Calendar, our 2014 Fall Conference, under the theme – “BROADWAY”. Your dynamic team of District Leaders including Area and Division Governors are busy knitting the final seams together. The entire production meanwhile is being orchestrated by an enthusiastic and creative producer, Conference Chairperson, Diana Loy, DTM. No matter how dynamic the cast and how creative the producer, no production can succeed with out you! Therefore, whether you’re an attendee, a stage hand, sponsor, advertiser, session presenter or contestant, I’d like to thank you for your support on behalf of the District’s leadership team and all who are working behind the curtains to insure that our conference attendees have the most rewarding experience possible. The menu of educational sessions is designed to make you a better public speaker, a better leader and a better person. There’s the special session for you First Timers on Saturday morning which I promise will be a memorable experience. We will graduate a class of new DTMs during the DTM walk at the Saturday evening banquet. Then there are the speech contests – 14 jittery persons are right now trying to calm their nerves as they prepare to compete on the grand stage in the Evaluation and Humorous Speech contests. It’s going to be “HOT”! At this conference, you will come face to face with some outstanding “actors and actresses from South Florida and The Bahamas. You’ll meet and be inspired by the Toastmasters International’s 2005 World Champion of Public Speaking, Lance Miller. By the time this publication is released, you’ll only have a few days before the “Box Office” closes. Act now and register to join the rest of the cast on BROADWAY, West Palm Beach, Florida on November 7-9, 2014. When the lights come on and the curtains are raised, make sure you’re there to hear the beautiful sound... ACTION! SEE YOU THERE!
