Wrapping Up the 2024–2025 Contest Season with Vision, Inspiration, and Passion
What an exciting finale to this year’s contest season! District 25 celebrated the culmination of the 2024–2025 Toastmasters Speech Contests at our Annual Conference, embracing the powerful theme: VIP – Vision, Inspiration, Passion.
Brian Adams brought energy and charisma as the Table Topics Contest Toastmaster. Lola Stone served as International Speech Contest Toastmaster with enthusiasm. Each of our contestants brought passion and excellence to the stage and delivered impactful memorable speeches.
Congratulations to our 2025 District Champions! You now carry the VIP torch, representing the best of District 25 with your voice, your vision, and your passion.
A heartfelt thank-you goes out to every Toastmaster who competed, volunteered, or supported the contests this season. These events would not be possible without your commitment and teamwork. Special thanks to all our Judges, Chief Judges, Area Directors and Division Directors —for your service and leadership.
As I wrap up my term as your District Contest Coordinator, I’m grateful for every connection and memories made. It has been a joy and an honor to serve in this role. I look forward to continuing this journey with all of you — learning, growing, and cheering each other on in the new Toastmasters year.
