On Saturday 4 July, we celebrated our incoming Toastmasters district leaders by holding a gala Induction Dinner.
I was installed as District Governor in a ceremony chaired by Past District Governor, Frances Boshoff, after which I presented my incoming address, where I spoke a little about what Toastmasters means to me, and I presented the district theme – Toastmasters, Growing People.
The outgoing officers were also released from their duties, allowing them to handover the leadership duties to a new set of officers, and Lois Strachan was installed as the IPDG (Immediate Past District Governor), which means that she will be chairing the PDG advisary committee for the next year.
Anyway, if you missed the dinner, it was a fantastic function, and judging by the noise level, was enjoyed by all. If you didn’t manage to get there, I have a video of my speech, you can watch it below. Anyway, keep talking, and remember that Toastmasters Grow people!

It’s a great organization, and for even more inspiration, I invite you to check out this brief video — ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/4453 — it’s the story of one woman’s “aha moment” that led her to join Toastmasters and literally change her life. I know you’ll enjoy it.
