Share your toastmasters story!
Let’s Showcase the Power of Toastmasters Across District 69
Behind every speech, every meeting and every leadership role lies a story worth sharing.
At District 69, we believe our members are our greatest storytellers. Whether you’re a new member who just gave your Ice Breaker, a club officer stepping into leadership, or a seasoned Toastmaster with a lifetime of experience – your story has the power to inspire others, attract guests and celebrate what Toastmasters is all about.
We’re inviting members, clubs and leaders from across the District to help us build a richer, more engaging blog and news section on the District 69 website – one that reflects the diverse voices, experiences and achievements of our community.
