Keep in Touch
Different ways to reach us and stay informed.
There are several ways to stay informed about what’s happening — across the district and in your club’s local neighborhood.
Follow Us on Social Media
District 101 is active on various social media channels. Follow us to keep up-to-date on activities, including blogs, educationals, programs, membership, podcasts, events, and more.
Attending and Viewing Events
Meetup: District 101 creates Meetup on Meetup for many of the educational programs, workshops, and contests that take place throughout the year.
In addition, using the district-paid Meetup account, your club events can also be posted. Many clubs have found Meetup to be very successful in attracting guests, both for regular club meetings as well as for special events like open houses. Once you join the District 101 Meetup page, you can request to create an event using this request form.
YouTube Channel: Especially now that many of the educational sessions and workshops are taking place online, these events have been recorded for members to revisit, whether or not they attended in person. Videos are categorized into playlists.
If you have videos that you believe would be valuable to share, such as a quick tip, please send an email to pr@d101tm.org.
Promoting Events and Meetings
Many of the events and workshops are advertised on various social media channels, as is the release of new content, including blogs, the district newsletter, the podcast, and the message from the district director. Follow these channels so you can keep up to date with district news, share posts with your friends, and engage with like-minded Toastmasters around the district.
Other Promotion Resources
For advice and tips about how your club can use its own website and social media channels to promote your club, and to learn about the districts PR programs and awards, visit the PR Resources page.

Heart to Heart Conversations
Heart to Heart Conversations: Currently, social distancing is a new norm. While we are surrounded by many amazing people, we realize we may have taken for granted that we can always learn about them. Now, we discover that we do not know their stories. Heart to Heart Conversations give us a platform where we get to know the stories of the amazing people around us. We get to know what shaped them into who they are today. Our goal is to foster deep connection and inspiration by presenting the stories you have not heard before. We are going to have a monthly release of the Heart to Heart Conversations with a different interviewee every month!
