Thanks!!! Hopefully our fellow Toastmasters can get some extra motivation from http://takethestairs.wordpress.com. It's amazing to me how Toastmasters is such a huge organization run purely by volunteers. I know that like all systems it's not perfect but I sure am thankful for the impact that people like you have had on my life and launching my career. Hope everything shakes out for the best for your district and that one way or another people come together to get excited about spreading the powerful vision of what Toastmasters can mean! All the best my friend. See you in the stairwell, Rory Vaden http://takethestairs.wordpress.com Hey Will,
