District 25 believes in the old saying “the team that trains together, works well together.” OK, maybe that saying isn’t very old, but it’s true! Our TLI General Sessions are designed to benefit club teams, officers from the same club, attending and sitting together. (Yes, you could take notes and report back, but it’s not the same as when everyone hears the same thing at the same time and can participate in team discussion.) At this summer’s officer trainings, we have a special incentive for your officer team to attend training together. If four or more officers from your club attend on...

A Return on an Investment
By Nationstar Speaks Toastmaster, Eboney Jones Sometimes in life we invest our time, talent and treasure into things that don’t immediately show benefits, but still add great value in our lives. Things like education, dieting and saving money involve a good bit of delayed gratification in order to see impact. There are other times in life where things we invest in show an immediate return that allows us to enjoy the fruits of our labor. For me, that is Toastmasters. When I joined Toastmasters, I thought it would help me become a better public speaker and improve my career. I...
