However, decisions made by the world body do have an impact on our members and clubs. It's exciting news that we in WA will soon be a District in own right. It's even more exciting to us in Victoria Quay that when that happens it is almost certain that Mark will be the first District Governor of our new District.

The move to split District 73 has been approved by World Headquarters so we will have District WA in July 2011. Proposal A has also been passed which means that we will be placed in a region (region 12) of 5 Districts being 69 Qld & NT, 70 NSW & ACT, 72 New Zealand, 73 Vic, SA & Tas and of course District WA (88 or 89). This probably means not much to most club members but I can assure you that it will help all countries and clubs outside the USA have a stronger voice in the way Toastmasters is run and especially the chance for the winner of District International speech contests to make it to the World Championship. This years winner was from District 69, Mark Hunter who gave a stunning performance and was a clear winner. Second place also went to an Aussie living in the US so we were overjoyed with the outcome. I really appreciate Victoria Quay's support for me to come to this event and I can't thank you enough. See you all very soon, Bye for now, Mark Richards LGM District 73 Hi From Boston USA,
