Thanks to our clubs and their members, Toastmasters District 53 has weathered the initial consequences of the ongoing Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. As you know, key District, Division and Area meetings, as well as most club meetings, have transitioned to an online format for the duration of this public health emergency.
