Haven’t had much to write in the last few months; the campaign trail is pretty quiet between the last fall district conference, and the first spring conference. I’ve been attending my own club meetings, including the club I coach (South Loop Speak Freaks), home district DEC meetings (I am still the Immediate Past District Governor too), and helping out with club officer mid-year training. Also helping to get a couple of clubs started as well, serving as Toastmaster for demo meetings.<\/p>\n
Looks like the districts in Region V are starting to publish spring conference details and registration forms. Four of them are on the same weekend, D22, D30, D43, and D63 are all on April 25-26! So I guess I’ll only get to one of those, and it’ll be D43, since I visited the other three last fall. I’ll make it to five of the eight total, though.<\/p>\n
The first is D54 in Bloomington, IL on April 11-12, I can drive to that one, as well as D11 in Nashville, IN, on April 18-19. But I’ll fly to D43 on April 25-26. Joan is going to pick me up in Memphis, which is right on her way from Little Rock to Tupelo (it’s her home district), which is very nice of her.<\/p>\n
The Region V registration is out too, so I’ve registered for that and booked my airfare to Kansas City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
