November
14 – 16, 2014 Jacksonville,
FL will be the site of
District 84’s Party of the Century.
The
fall conference will be held in historic Jacksonville on our picturesque Riverwalk.
The conference
theme is a Weekend in Black and
White with Truman Capote.
This theme was selected as a way of
reminding and motivating our members, clubs, areas, and divisions into action. Truman Capote held his
famous, or infamous, gala event as a means of thanking
the many friends and associates who had supported
and rallied behind him
prior to his fame. He wanted to
say “Thank
You” and express his sincere gratitude
to the special people in his
life. It is our
hope this theme will motivate the members of District
84 to analyze their reasons
for joining Toastmasters, as
well how they can take the skills they have acquired and give back to their communities and the Toastmasters organization.
A Thank You to Toastmasters.
We intend
for this weekend
to be a tribute to the idea of giving back to Toastmasters. Allow your creative side to takeover in your pursuit to give back to our
clubs, areas, divisions, and the district. The
perfect endeavor
could be becoming
more involved in the mentoring program. Most thriving toastmaster clubs can credit
their success to a solid mentoring program.
Besides, every toastmaster deserves an
amazing mentor. Why
not become that mentor?
As with the original
Party
of the Century, this conference will be hottest
ticket in Jacksonville come November 14th!!! The
weekend will be
a bow to Capote,
his acceptance of others,
and an embrace
of ALL things black
and/or white. Friday night’s costume is a TRUE anything
goes, as long as its black
and/or white. Come as
your favorite superhero,
character, TV personality, or internet
maven, in black/white of course!
Saturday night will be a salute to Capote’s gala event.
Dust off your
evening gowns and
tuxedos. Saturday will be a masked black and white ball. We
want to see just how well you “clean up”. We will have a
ball trying to figure who’s
behind that mask. We hope every- one will understand this night
will be dedicated
to
thanking Toastmasters for all it has done for us and play-
ing it forward in our
clubs, area, divisions, district,
and community. How can you ensure that Toastmasters membership is one
of
the hottest tickets in town? How
will you pay it forward?
