Welcome to District One Toastmasters

The countdown to President Distinguished is on! We are in it, to win it. We have moved up to 41 Distinguished or better clubs. Don't give up!! Keep those Open Houses and membership events going and visit our new potential clubs. Increase your club's chance to win $250 . . . join the 1+1 Campaign. Send your Open House flyers to our Open House Chair, Rodger Cota. Conduct a Speak-a-Thon and invite family and friends to join. And, check out the most recent District One eblast featuring upcoming events. If Each One in your club invites just one person to visit and join, that could make a big difference in your membership. Stay in the game! Let's help your club reach Distinguished.
