District Conference

I was in Rochester, MN over the weekend for the District 6 Toastmasters Conference. I was honored along with 12 others for earning my Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) award. What was especially exciting was that two other members of my club, also earned their DTMs.

I also gave a toast to the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada (our district includes a part of Canada). You would think that was easy, but it's actually interesting to experience giving a short toast that cannot have any mistakes in it in front of a large crowd. Rest assured everything went well (especially because a friend suggested I remember to bring a glass to the microphone to toast with!) It certainly gives me an appreciation of all of the details that go into planning a conference like that.
