It seems that Toastmasters International (TI) only requires that the District visit each club (in the form of the Area Governor) twice a year and to report on its visit to Toastmasters International. We believe that TI wants to know that the club actually exists and is meeting as a club.
This is the minimum that TI asks us to do with the club. Just as there are "minimum clubs", this is the minimum that the District needs to do for the club. No requirements for assisting the club in fulfilling its Mission, or to assure that its members' needs are being met.
OF COURSE, District ONE does more than the minimum for its clubs and their Toastmaster members. We will do everything that is needed so that our Toastmasters have the opportunity to develop their communication and leadership skills, which in turn, fosters self-confidence and personal growth.
This past 2007 - 2008 has seen a tremendous increase in participation by our Toastmasters in District ONE. We had increased attendance at the last Toastmaster Learning Conference (TLC), with approximately 300 in attendance. Our past two District Conferences had attendance in excess of 200.
In other words, District ONE Toastmasters is NOT a minimum District in regards to how it serves its clubs and club members.
