Spring is in the Air
Hello District 6,
Spring is in the Air!
It is exciting to finally see the snow melt and experience some warm temperatures that we all hope remains. It is time to look forward to even better days! It is the same way in Toastmasters. We have had a great year so far with even more great things ahead. Below are just a few.
Contest Season is in the Air!
It has been exciting to see so many people compete this year! As audience members we have had the opportunity to learn from some our district finest contestants! I definitely have to say that I am glad that I was not a judge. The competition was tough, and each one of the contestants did a wonderful job!
Congratulations to the Area & Division Speech Contest Winners!!

The District 6 Spring Conference is just around the corner: April 28-29. 2023. It will prove to be one of the best ones yet with an amazing line of presenters including the Golden Lady of Toastmasters herself, Past International President, Lark Doley. We will also have great food, and fun with fellow Toastmasters, see the induction of the 2023-2024 District Leaders, and of course, the District Speech Contests! You won’t want to miss it! Register today!
Silent Auction: One of the highlights of this year’s Spring Conference is an incredible Silent Auction coordinated by Georgette Benidt and Tara Bolanda. They have been super creative in their efforts to secure donations. There is sure to be something for everyone. If you are interested in donating to the silent auction, please reach out to Georgette @ benidt.georgette@mayo.edu or Tara @ ormetm5@gmail.com. Your generous donations help offset the cost of the conference. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Help Wanted: We are looking for MANY roles for next program year, especially Area Directors! You are invited to review the opportunities here. Use your talents and abilities to help your fellow Toastmasters take their Toastmasters Journey to the next level. In the process, you will find yourself learning and growing in ways you never expected. It really is a win-win opportunity!
I hope you can feel the excitement in the air and choose
be apart of the amazing things that are happening in District 6.
Believing the Best is Yet Ahead,
Colleen Marie
