From
your
District
Governor...
Dear
Friends,
In a few
weeks we
will all
meet in
Colombo
at our
annual
conference
“Ovation
2012”.
Have you
made
plans to
attend?
If not
please
do so
before
it is
too
late.
Ovation
2012 is
special
for many
reasons.
First
and
foremost,
we will
have the
district
business
meeting
before
the
actual
conference
begins.
This is
where we
discuss
our
progress
so far,
what we
ought to
do to
reach
our
expected
goal and
elect
our
future
leaders
who will
carry
forward
the
mantle
of
District
82 from
1st
July
2012.
Next we
are
fortunate
to have
the
International
President
of
Toastmasters
DTM
Michael
Notaro
attend
the
conference.
This is
the
first
time an
International
President
will
visit
our
district.
We have
a great
opportunity
to meet
him in
person
and
learn
from
him. In
addition
to the
International
President,
Rory
Vaden an
accomplished
speaker,
a
trainer
and an
author
will
attend
the
conference.
Sanjay
Pinto
from
India
and
Toastmasters
Saro
Velrajan,
Sumithra
Manmohan
and Dr.
Jayalath
Edirisinghe
will
conduct
educational
sessions.
We can
certainly
look
forward
to power
packed,
educational
presentations
from
these
resource
persons.
The
Table
Topics
speech
contest
finals
will be
held at
the
conference.
We can
see the
best
impromptu
speakers
of the
district
speaking
at this
contest.
Don’t
forget
to come
in
numbers
and
cheer
your
favorite
speaker.
We will
also see
the best
speakers
of the
district
competing
at the
district
International
Speech
contest.
The
winner
of this
contest
will
represent
our
district
at the
international
speech
contest
semi-finals
in
August
in
Orlando,
USA.
Please
do
attend
this
conference
to
witness
a world
champion
in the
making.
Fun
night is
going to
be an
enjoyable
evening
for all
of us
where we
will
chill
out
after
the
first
day of
the
conference.
This is
the best
time for
fun, joy
and
laughter.
Bring in
your
cameras,
collect
as many
pictures
as
possible
to
relish
your
memories.
To all
Toastmasters,
this is
my
personal
invitation
to
attend
Ovation
2012 in
Colombo,
Sri
Lanka
from 25th
to 27th
May
2012.
I look
forward
to
welcome
you
soon.
