Digital Banner Parade

We missed it last year, but we are having a Club Banner Parade at this year’s Spring Conference! We want the recognition for our clubs that continue to promote the Toastmasters program.

For our Digital Banner Parade, each club is asked to creatively prepare a picture of who they are, preferably including their club banner. These creative banners will be introduced during the Spring Conference.

What are we looking for? If you’re meeting in person (or have a club picture from when you met in person), you can use that. Or take a screen shot of a Zoom meeting. Or take a variety of pictures and put together into a one-page PowerPoint presentation, then save it as picture. Have some fun and be creative! Examples are pictured below.

Save your picture using the following naming convention, adding an underscore between each element:

· Divisions get one space (A, B, C, D, E)

· Areas get two spaces (01, 02, …… 99)

· Clubs get eight spaces (00005752 …. 01345083)

Examples:

Copper Country Toastmasters: E_05_04299987

Chrome Conversations: D_02_05264984

Once your banner is created and properly name, please submit to Kris Pool (kris.pool.dtm@gmail.com) no later than Monday, May 3, 2021.
