By Sally Philbin, District 57 Director
News Important to All Members of D57!
Below are decisions made and announced at the Oct DECM (District Executive Committee Meeting). I like to think of it as the District Leadership Meeting.
- CONTESTS TO BE SPONSORED BY THE DISTRICT THIS YEAR: This year the District will sponsor the International Speech Contest and the Evaluation Contest. Both of these contests must be in-person with all functionaries being in-person. Each contest can include a virtual and an in-person audience. For more detailed information be sure to read the upcoming Dispatch (newsletter) that can be found in the Nov 3 Weekly Digest.
- EVERY DISTRICT MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 100 CLUBS TO CONTINUE AS A DISTRICT! We have been losing clubs this year. We are hovering around 100 and may fall below if we do not make bolstering our current clubs and chartering new clubs a priority this year. We must have a minimum of 115 clubs to secure Distinguished status for the District this year. We can do this naturally if we put members first. A large robust District is beneficial for all of our members.
- CLUB VISIT REPORTS: All AD’s please update the status of your Club Visit Reports on the TI Club Visit page so that we can see your status. This is important so that we know who needs help and can reach out to them. Thank-you for your service!
