Happy New Year 2010 District 51 Toastmasters and friends

Dearest fellow Toastmasters and friends,

As we usher in to the New Year 2010 , I would like to wish each one of you a wonderful New Year and may PEACE fill all the empty spaces around us.

And in you, may contentment answer all your wishes.
May comfort be yours, warm and soft like a sigh. And may this coming year show you that every day is really a first day, a new year.
Let abundance be your constant companion, so that you have much to share.
May you achieve the goal you have set for yourself  like a lamp shining brightly on the Toastmasters paths you travel.

Let us together celebrate the new year and look forward to a successful term 2009/2010 in our District Toastmasters year!
You certainly will play a part. I look forward for your continued support.

Once again, Happy New Year 2010!
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ritchie
District 51

Merry Christmas District 51

It is that time of the year again, when you are thankful for everything merry and bright. May this Christmas be a delight! Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

World Headquarters' Inventory Time is Coming!

As part of TI’s annual inventory process, 
adding new members, 
paying renewals or 
submitting education awards 
will not be possible until the first week of January.

It’s that time of year again! World Headquarters is conducting physical inventory from December 17, 2009, to January 4, 2010.

What does this mean for you?
As part of TI’s inventory process, we will be unable to process the following transactions between December 17, 2009, and January 4, 2010 (including all submissions by mail and/or online):

• Supply orders
• New member kits
• Charter kits
• Education award certificates (including free advanced manuals)

As a result, submissions received by Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 11:59 p.m., PST, will be processed and shipped. Orders received after that date will be held and processed after January 4, 2010.

In addition to the Toastmasters’ online store, some of the club and district business sections of the Web site will be inactive from December 17, 2009, to January 4, 2010.

Consider holding your submissions until January 4 and then enter the information online. Submitting everything online will be the fastest way to get your materials.

Happy Holidays District 51 members!
