Taking Stock. . .

Phyllis Harmon, DTM, PDG - Publisher/Editor

In reviewing my goals list for 2022-2023, I see there are several items

I no longer need to worry about and a few still pending:
• District Annual Conference - Done
• International Speech video/forms sent to Toastmasters - Done
• Pathways Levels 1, 2, 4, 5 completed and sent to clubs - Done

• My two clubs on the cusp of President Distinguished - Almost Done
• TLI training the first weekend in June - Scheduled to attend
• Eleven issues of Voices! - Done!!!
• June issue of Voices! - In the "thinking about" stage

• Publication of conference/contest videos - Soon to be available on
Community Television and/or District Youtube channel
I am feeling pretty good about the number of items I crossed off my
list so far for this year.

Looking back, the year has been productive and much has been
accomplished. Not just by me, but by an entire squadron of Zoom Masters,
Directors, members, and our wonderful Public Relations Manager. From
my perspective, we have worked together to make this a stellar year EDITORIAL

of cooperation and member enrichment. Certainly, we have had our
challenges but we kept our focus on what was really important—learning,
community, and having fun. I think this year has been the best since we
were plagued with shutdowns, layoffs, and a country in turmoil.

There is one more month in this Toastmasers year, and I am committed
to keeping my focus on finishing what I started, fulfilling my club promises,
and finishing the year stronger than when I started. Sometimes all it
takes is a look back at what's been accomplished to move

forward with a smile and a new resolve. See you at the
finish line on June 30th.
