🌟 We RISE in District 77!
Greetings, Team District 77!
Momentum is building, and together we continue to Recruit, Inspire, Speak, and Encourage as we RISE across our clubs and communities
Recruit
Welcome, Tuskegee Tiger Voices Toastmasters Club!
District 77 officially charters its first new club of the 2025-2026 year in September.
Special thanks to our dedicated mentors Monette Mottenon and Jackie Townsend, and to our sponsors McKinley Curtis III, DTM and Monette Mottenon for making this milestone possible.
Way to RECRUIT!
Inspire
Congratulations to Etta Stewart, newly appointed Club Coach for North Alabama Advanced Toastmasters, effective October 2, 2025.
Etta’s enthusiasm and leadership will surely INSPIRE the club to reach Distinguished status this year!
Speak
A heartfelt thank-you to Lillian Cooke, DTM for facilitating our Area Success Plan Workshop on October 11.
