We had a great turn-out at the District 53 Spring Conference on Saturday at St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield. Eight Middlesex members attended: Rob Schaff, Tom Alvord, Cheryl Mason, Charnaie Gordon, Michael O'Brien, Kay Jeyaplan, Murali Pemmaraju, and Ramesh Padavala.
Middlesex County Toastmasters was recognized during the business meeting for achieving President's Distinguished Club status, and then recognized again during the dinner banquet for our outstanding Open House event.
Our Club President, Cheryl Mason, was elected to the very important post of Division C Governor for 2010-2011. Congratulations, Cheryl!
Cheryl was also invited to give the invocation for the dinner banquet, in front of all 170 or so attendees, and she did a tremendous job.
The Top 3 District Officers for next year are:
Dave Wheeler, District Governor
Richard Peck, Lieutenant Governor Education & Training (LGET)
Jeff Sobel, Lieutenant Governor Marketing (LGM)
Dave announced next year's district theme: Have fun... and get it done!
The speech contest results:
Tall Tales Contest - Jim Kenney, "My Pet" (Air Line Trail TM)
International Contest - Nana Danso, "Light One Candle," (BI Toastmasters)
Nana will go to the Toastmasters Regional Speech Contest on Thursday Aug 12 in Palm Desert, CA .
The educational sessions, the food, and the Toastmasters networking were all great this year. The next conference will be November 20, 2010, in East Fishkill, NY.
