District 55 Buck$

District 55 Buck$ are prizes awarded for several of the district's Promotions and Awards programs. When Buck$ are awarded, the awardees will be contacted via email.
Buck$ are provided in the form of a Gift Card and are issued by the District Promotion Committee.

Winners of District 55 Buck$ have a CHOICE on how to redeem.

Winners may elect to be issued the full amount of their award and receive the District 55 Buck$ at one of the conferences or TLI’s.
Or, the winners can redeem the cards by submitting a merchandise order directly with the Promotion Committee.

Note: A Blank Merchandise order form will be sent in the respective email from the Promotions Committee.

The Promotion Committee will place an order on a regular basis and will notify you when your order is received. You may order any item carried in the Shop at Toastmasters International. The cost of your order will be deducted from your award. Any balance remaining will be issued on a District 55 Buck$ card and distributed at one of the conferences or TLI’s.

When your merchandise arrives, the promotions committee will work with you to arrange to receive your goods (such as at a TLI or Conference). If by chance, the goods are not accepted in a timely manner, efforts will be made to get the merchandise to you; however, if the property is not accepted, it will be placed in the District bookstore.

District 55 Buck$ may be combined with cash to purchase any item carried in the Toastmasters International Shop. Arrangements must be made with the Promotions Committee prior to this being accomplished and District Director must be notified to ensure proper funding procedure is accomplished.
