Fellow Toastmasters:
How wonderful it was to be at
Ovation once again! To enjoy the
camaraderie! I was simply
delighted by the learning and
sharing which happened on those
3 days! I am sure it was a
worthwhile experience for every
toastmaster who had travelled
miles to be there in Chennai.
Since this will be my last
message to you as an LGET, I
would like to thank 730 people
who have contributed to my
success:
310 CCs, 110 ACs, 310 CL/AL/DTM
I would like to congratulate the
740 officers who have undergone
vigorous training which enhanced
their performance levels.
Congratulations to all club
presidents, and area governors
for conducting speech contests
in a free and fair manner. It
was because of you, we had an
opportunity to witness the best
talent in the District at the
annual conference.
My compliments to all the
Division Governors for
organizing fantastic Division
Conferences; I was fortunate to
have been a part of these events
myself.
You would agree with me when I
say that not only there has been
a remarkable increase in the
number of contestants at each
level but also in terms of
quality of speeches. I attribute
this success to the positive
competitive environment created
by the club presidents and VPEs.
Well done!
A majority of the clubs in the
district were clearly focused in
implementing the Distinguished
Club Program. Some have become
Presidents Distinguished, more
have become Select Distinguished
and many more have become
distinguished. Due recognitions
and thanks to the superb efforts
put in by my two Assistant LGETs:
Ajit Dembla, India and Kanishka
Jayasinghe, Sri Lanka.
Many people have worked hard
behind the scenes viz., DTM Paul
Holmes, speaker’s pool chairman,
Malora Fernandes, Mentors pool
Chairperson, Ajit Dembla,
administrator of D82 Google
groups and webmaster DTM Frank
Storey.
While all these TMs have done
their work tremendously well, we
cannot forget the contribution
of this one person who is
largely responsible for the
success of our district. This
one person
-
who stood by the district
vision
-
who got down to the brass
tacks, and,
-
who actually delivered
speeches regularly
Let us all give this one person,
who is none other than the
individual member of our
District a standing ovation!
Congratulations to each
toastmaster of this fabulous
district!
Let’s celebrate our success as
we move towards becoming the
Number One District, once again!
Let us continue to build bridges
as we move towards achieving
greatness together!
