At this convention, may you share ideas, celebrate successes, and strengthen friendships.  In the months ahead may you be blessed with the wisdom, dedication, and enthusiasm to serve all the members of our organization.  Remember that all it takes is one moment: one moment to make your dreams your possibilities; one moment to change lives one at a time; and one moment to find your voice and serve your world.  One moment.  It is Simply Amazing, isn’t it?

During the moments ahead of you, may you find the time to serve others, to make a difference, and to improve our world.  Toastmasters, and all humanity, depends on you.  May you achieve greatness!

Sincerely,
Gary Schmidt, DTM
Third Vice President
Toastmasters International
