Gearing Up for Fall
Dear District 6 Toastmasters,
We are over two months into the new year! Thank you for continuing to be great Toastmasters. As your Public Relations Manager (PRM) for District 6 (D6), I have been busy advertising the District on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. We are hopeful that these targeted campaigns bring new people to your club – please let me know if someone joins or visits your club because they saw our online ad!
Our two podcasts, True Stories from District 6 Toastmasters (TSD6) and Learning with District 6 Leaders (LwL) have had some amazing guests on them. Make sure to stop by our YouTube channel to check them out. We release one for each podcast a month.
If you would like to be a guest on either podcast, please let me know and I can connect you with the host to schedule a time to record it. TSD6 focuses on the member’s experience and how Toastmasters has made an impact in their lives. LwL focuses on current and past District leaders and what they learned while serving.
I just hosted a “Club Marketing 101” course which you can see on our YouTube channel. It would be great if you could subscribe to it to help it grow, too. I will be doing a VPPR-related seminar once a quarter, so stay tuned for the next event. It will be in-person!
The last thing I want to say is I hope you consider moving your meetings back to in-person/ hybrid. Toastmasters is at its best when you can rub elbows with your fellow member and get out of the house for a while. Do what is best for your members, but I hope by spring that most of our District is back to in-person meetings.
Check us out on these platforms, follow each one, and share them with your friends!
