It’s Nearly Over!

Phyllis Harmon, DTM, PDG - Publisher/Editor

Another year comes to an end. And what a year it has been! We started the year

connecting with more Toastmasters online than ever before in a live Toastmasters
convention. District 7 Clubs gained members from around the globe, making
us truly an international District. We’ve turned the pandemic corner here in

District 7 and are headed towards a brighter and more productive future. Soon
we will transition into blended Clubs accommodating members who joined us
through the magic of Zoom. We’ve been thrown into a maelstrom of change
from which we are emerging stronger and more technically savvy. Pathways
has been fully implemented with members deciding whether to embrace the

program or move on to other endeavours. Transition and change are part of
life. The lesson is how to deal with the new paradigm.
Our leadership team is finishing the year by planning for the next. If you’ve not

been approached to accept an appointed position, let the incoming team know EDITORIAL
of your interest. There is always work to be done, and it only gets accomplished
when members choose to be involved. If you are an event planner, leader, coach,
mentor, or have the desire to learn the necessary skills to be successsful in
these roles, speak up! I know for a fact that you will learn more than you ever

thought possible, and you will have plenty of stories to share as you complete
your next Path.
And finally, as you put the finishig touches on your year, reflect on

your wins and losses. Both contain important lessons. See
you next year!
