Teamwork IS making it happen
Glenn Knudson, DTM Distict 3 Governor

We are approaching the homestretch in the District year. As I reflect on the past eight months, one thing stands out. It is how the leaders and members of District 3 have latched onto the theme "Tearnwork Makes It Happen." I sense a real willingness to work together. Special committees on Club Officer Training, Leadership Symposium, Judges Training, Club Extension, and Low Member Club Workshops are just a sample of the projects that required the efforts and time of many individuals. The willingness of Toastmasters, from new members to District Officers, to pitch in and help each other and all Toastmasters when asked was truly heartwarming. I wish space allowed me to list the names of all the people who have given of their time, energy, and creativity.

It is too early to assess the results of these team efforts, but progress is being made. We are on track to becoming a Distinguished District. If we continue working together as we have in the past, I have no doubt that we will make it.

As members of the team, Bill, Geff, and I have tried to be accessable to everyone. We have listened, offered advice, answered questions, and given support where we could. It is this working together that is producing results. As I travel around the District, I can feel the closeness, and the comraderie that are producing excitement and energy throughout the District.

'There is much yet to be done. Working together from top to bottom as a team, we can meet or exceed all of our goals. Our biggest challenge is to bring low member clubs up to charter strength. District Officers can't do it by themselves. The members of the clubs can't do it by themselves. Committees can't do it by themselves. It will take the combined efforts of all of those, as well as other concerned Toastmasters.

The months ahead are ripe with opportunities and challenges. I am confident that together we will make it happen!
