Look out, Maine…here I come!
As I prepare to leave for the Toastmaster District 53 Spring 2012 Conference in Bloomfield, Connecticut, I want to express my appreciation to the District 53 team for their hard work and dedication. This will be fun, educational, and entertaining.
Public speaking is something I enjoy, and Toastmasters taught me how to do just that. On top of membership in clubs that are professional and personable, I find the camaraderie among Toastmasters to be bountiful. In fact, I have set a goal to speak at a Toastmaster club in every state of the continental United States. To date, I have tackled 25 clubs in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. I accomplished a great deal, but without going very far. Next in line…Maine.
