International convention report
Judy Darrh They called it "Fun in the Sun", but there was no need to go outside where temperatures equaled those we had just escaped in Arizona. It was far better inside the luxurious Marriott's Desert Springs Resort where Toastmasters 58th International Convention ran at full tilt for five fabulous, fantastic, full and fun days. The Palm Desert convention committee, created a gathering of unmatched education, friendship and good times. It was Toastmasters at it's very best. We ate, we danced, we visited with old friends and made new ones, and in between tiiees, packed in more educational and business sessions than one could hope to ac-commodate. Just a sampler: Election of the new International officers, a little shopping in the International Education Center/Store, First4iiners Welcome, an exceptional Opening Ceremony featuring Doc Blakely, the annual busi-ness rineeting (including grand scale politicking and campaigning), Hall of Faine Pageant, Luncheon for Directors and Past.

Governor The seventh annual July Jubilee awards banquet once again gave incoming officers a renewed enthu-siasm for their coming year of leadership within District 3. Mary DiCerho, ATM began the.evening with an invocation, and, keeping it in the family, dad Mike DiCerbo, DTM, presided as Toastmaster for the Jubi-lee. With his usual wry humor,~he treated us to sev-eral philosophical observations and exhortations such as "As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction." Keynote speaker Bill Crawford, DTM, explained the five Trainable Skills of Leadership, and used the acronym LEADERS to remind us that we need to Learn, be Enthusiastic, have a good Attitude, be Dedicated, have Empathy, Recognize Responsibility, and have a good Self Image. Bill also pointed out that Toastmasters is a "Living Laboratory in Leadership", since we can try out ideas in our club before we try them on the job.
