February Newsletter –Hello from your District Trio
Dear District 90 Members,
A warm hello from the three of us - Ramani, Nellie and Elizabeth 😊
We’ve been reviewing our current membership position together and we are pleased to share that our District average now stands at 19.2 members per club.
This reflects the strength, resilience and commitment of our clubs across our District.
With only one club below eight members and most clubs already above twelve members, we are well positioned to move from stability to strength.
🌺 Together, we are setting a shared District goal:
🎯Average of 20 Members per Club by 30 June
This is not about pressure. It is about consolidation, sustainability and confidence.
If our clubs strengthen to at least 12 members, we will be within reach. The final step to 20 will come from small, collective contributions across our District.
⚡ Early Renewal - A Smart Move
We all love a good bargain – and right now the exchange rate is the best it has been since 2022.
At today’s rate, a $60 USD membership payment is approximately $86 AUD.
Renewing early allows you to take advantage of this rate. You may even wish to renew for 12 months to maximise savings while strengthening your club’s stability.
Early renewals reduce last-minute pressure and provide certainty for club leadership teams.
💰 Early Renewal Incentive – Let’s Build Momentum
To encourage early action, we are introducing a District incentive:
🎯 The first 50 clubs that renew a minimum of 8 members and are in good standing by Sunday 15 March will receive a $50 Toastmasters International voucher for the Speechcraft Bundle.
Why this matters:
Eight members secures good standing
Early renewal strengthens your club immediately
Speechcraft supports future membership growth
Momentum builds confidence across the District
We will keep a running tally and share updates to create positive energy and friendly competition among clubs.
Let’s create momentum early
Let’s create visibility.
Let’s strengthen together.
