I am Ready . . .

Phyllis A. Harmon, DTM - Editor/Publisher

It amuses me how much faster the world spins the slower I get. I
blink and it’s a new year full of promise and “what can be’s”. There
are new mountains to climb and valleys to cross. I am ready.
That’s one of the many advantages of Toastmasters. I can have
a so-so year or an outstanding one, but it’s up to me which way
it goes. There is no one pushing me one way or the other. All my
deadlines and goals are self imposed. I shape my own destiny.

I am ready to tackle the role of president of TV Toastmasters,
building on the work of those who came before me. I am ready to
spread the voice of District 7 on air and in print to those who haven’t
experienced the power of the program. I am ready to fulfill other
goals I’ve set for myself both in and out of Toastmasters.
As I looked over the organizational chart of the 2018-19 directors
on pages 18-19, I noted there were still several positions wating to

be filled. I’ve put my name forward for consideration. Whether my
option is picked up or not isn’t really the point. I am ready should EDITORIAL
my help be needed.
Leadership and team opportunities surround us. Our District
Trio is looking for committee members, director roles need to be
filled, the conference committee seeks volunteers to help plan and
execute the Spring conference, and the broadcast and print media
teams are welcoming volunteers to help them fulfill their mission
of becoming the voice of District 7.

The opportunities are there. All you have to do
is decide how you want to to stretch and grow on
your own journey this year. I’m ready. Are you?
