Toastmasters International -

Throughout the year, we have many Toastmasters milestones—officer elections, the changing of the program year, the International Convention, District Leader Training, and more. With so much business to tend to, members might miss out on opportunities for celebration. After more than a year of challenges brought on by the global pandemic, take a day to step back and applaud one another for all of the hard work. And what better day to celebrate than October 22—Toastmasters International’s 97th anniversary!

Ready for a new challenge? Want to have some fun? On October 22, or anytime throughout the month, set up a fun club meeting or gathering with a few members to honor the organization’s anniversary and your outstanding accomplishments over the past year. Call it a Day of Celebration! Commemorate the camaraderie and connections you maintained and strengthened, or take the opportunity to reach out to a member you’d like to connect with more often. Plan how you and your club are going to build back stronger in the 2021–2022 program year—and then tell us about it. Send photos of your gathering to photos@toastmasters.org and post them on social media using #CelebrateTI and #TalkingToastmasters.
