I am a 35 year member of Toastmasters starting in Panama City District 29. I moved to East Central Florida in 1981 and transferred my membership to the Merritt Moonliters club, #1387 in November of that year. I was the first President of the Harris Communicators club, 363.
While with the Communicators club I was on many extensive travel and field assignments. I learned, very quickly, that Toastmasters is truly International. I visited over 100 clubs in cities such as; Jacksonville, FL; Atlanta, GA; Washington, DC; Tucson, AZ; etc. I had instant friends in every city where I worked I have been invited to dinners, weddings and homes of some of the most intelligent and greatest people in the world – fellow Toastmasters.
District 84 has a very valuable tool called the Ambassador program. I now visit clubs all over my Area, Division and other Districts. I have gained fantastic knowledge and new friends. Each club is unique such as providing food to recording their meetings. What a way to learn while having fun. I encourage all of the members in District to become a club Ambassador.
