It is my great pleasure to share with you the news that District 80 achieved Select Distinguished District Award for the term 2009 - 2010!

Attached is a copy of the relevant congratulation letter from Toastmasters International.

During the term 2009 - 2010, District 80 not only achieved Select Distinguished District Award, but also bagged 2 more awards, namely, Excellence in Education and Training Award, and Excellence in Marketing Award. That could be summed up in the following achievements:

1.  No. of new clubs: 25.
2.  Membership payment:  13,606
3.  No. of CCs: 503.
4.  No. of ACs: 215.
5.  No. of Leaders (CLs, ALs, DTMs combined) : 274.
6.  Distinguished Clubs:  70 President's Distinguished Clubs, 32 Select Distinguished Clubs, and 44 Distinguished Clubs.
7.  Distinguished Areas:  19 President's Distinguished Areas, 13 Select Distinguished Areas, and 12 Distinguished Areas.
8.  Distinguished Divisions:  8 President's Distinguished Divisions, and 1 Distinguished Division.

As a result of the above phenomenal achievements, District 80 ranked No.12 among the 81 Districts in Toastmasters International worldwide.

Special mention has to be made about Lieutenant Governor Marketing Michael Rodrigues, DTM, and District Mentor Poh Kim Siong, DTM. Without the painstaking coordination in chartering new clubs by the former and the timely guidance and advice given by the latter, District 80 might not have been able to attain such accomplishments.

More importantly, our success would not have been possible without the concerted effort of all our members and clubs. In other words, we succeeded because of YOU!

All the achievers will be recognized at the Hall of Fame Gala Dinner Night to be held on Saturday 27th November 2010 at Jurong Safra during the 2010 District 80 Semi Annual Convention. Let us enjoy the fruit of our success together! 

Our new term has already started. Let us keep up our exemplary work, and continue to work together towards the betterment of our members, and hopefully better performance for the new term. 

Toastmasters:
Renew Your Promise!
Confidence. Leadership. Service.
Achieving Greatness Together!

Edward Ma, DTM
