Hello District 28 members and club officers! About 68 days will pass
before the Region VI Conference begins at the East Lansing Marriott on
June 11-12.
District 62 (our neighboring district to the north) is taking it's
turn at hosting this Conference - it comes around once every eight
years (as there are eight districts in Region VI). The Host District
Chairman is Past District 62 Governor and Past International Director
Bob Brentin DTM from Midland MI. His Committee will take attendees to
the next level of Toastmasters. They have created an Extreme
Conference of workshops, keynote speakers, entertainment, Business
Meeting, International Speech Contest, and more, more, more! We are
extremely excited to host International President Ted Corcoran - this
will be his final conference visit in the world as President.
Attached is a Highlights page of the Conference.
The Committee is looking for individuals and businesses to help offset
some of our costs by providing monetary assistance or promotional
items. Attached you will find information as to how you can help.
I personally am excited about this Conference because it will be my
last Regional as an International Director on the Board. It is my
pleasure to serve as your host, along with first year International
Director, John Gupta, from District 61 in Montreal. I hope many
District 28 Toastmasters will accept my invitation to attend - you
won't want to miss it - it'll be Extreme!
