The April 20-21, 2007, conference will be held at the Westin-Southfield in Southfield, MI. The conference registration form will soon be available on the District 28 website: www.d28toastmasters.org, under the "Spring Conference" section. District conferences provide excellent opportunities to learn, laugh, renew old acquaintances, and make new friends. The Spring 2007 conference will feature the district-level Evaluation and International Speech contests, the always interesting District Council business meeting (including the election of new officers), and an awesome array of educational workshops! The committee, which is still under formation, is already working on the theme for Friday Fun Night and lots of other items. If you're interested in helping with the conference, please contact the Spring 2007 Conference Chair, Mary Comfort, at mary at sinda-comfort.com, evenings (586) 759-4937, or M-F 9-5 at (313) 579-2100 ext 169. We?re seeking workshop presenters, especially those with topics that fit the theme. If you?re interested, please complete the application form (on the D28 website under "Resources/Education") and/or contact the LGET (that's me!) for further information. In order to provide a broader range of payment options for our members, we?ll again provide an on-line registration system for those who wish to pay by credit/debit card. (This option will include a modest surcharge to cover the cost of offering this service.) The link will be added to the website in January. Hope to see you at the Spring Conference!
