Parade of Banners at the District 55 2021 Conference
Dear Toastmasters!!
Our district conferences are an amazing opportunity to get together and share our experiences, see our friends, and generally revel in the wonderfulness that is Toastmasters.
This year, we get to meet virtually, with all the advantages and disadvantages that brings!! The question I get to answer is - How do we do a Parade of Banners virtually? It's like asking how to do the Macy's Parade virtually. Can it even be done?
Of course!! What we'd like you to do is to take a picture of your banner with as many of your Toastmasters as you can fit into the picture. If it's just one person in a selfie, that counts. If you have Toastmasters relatives who can be in the room together safely, and can take a picture together, that counts. If you can take a picture of your banner in a zoom meeting, that counts. If you have amazing photoshop skills and you can stitch together a photo with all your members, that counts.
And if you have a better idea - a more creative idea - to fit more of your members into a photo of your banner, then we want to see it.
Those of you with PowerPoint skills can use the attached template to send us your photo and a one sentence description of your club. If you don’t have PowerPoint, just send the photo and the sentence and we’ll put the PowerPoint together for you. There's two examples below in case you need inspiration.
The most people in a picture and the most creative idea (as judged by our District Trio) will both win a secret prize!!
