CHALLENGE YOUR IMAGINATION
is the District's theme for the 2008-2009 Toastmasters year.
Imagination is creativity at its best. It's the use of our talents and skills to bring things from the
abstract into reality. Remember that the next time you look at a light bulb or use a cellular telephone.
Imagination turned into reality. I challenge you to challenge yours. Use your creativity to make your
meetings exciting and your evaluations valuable! Challenge Your Imagination! You'll never know what's in
you until you try.
Sandra Coles-Bell, DTM
District 36 Governor, 2008-2009
