Due to the impact of the COVID-19 Virus, Toastmasters International has directed all Districts to no longer conduct in person Area, Division, or District events until June 1, 2020.  As such, our District Conference has been canceled. We will hold our District Contests and District Council meeting virtually (more information to be shared later).

If you registered for the Conference, you will be getting a full refund (either by credit card or check, depending on how you paid).

If you reserved a room with the Holiday Inn Marina Downtown Corpus Christi, please reach out directly to the hotel to manage your reservation.

For questions, contact Jean Ramsey at d55pqd@tmd55.org.
