"Thank you for contacting me regarding speaking at your conference. Since winning the World Championship of Public Speaking in 2005, I have made it my mission to help Toastmasters Win with Toastmasters. Each of these presentations is specifically designed to enhance the understanding and ability of the audience members to use Toastmasters to enhance their life.
"Should your District desire to give a token of appreciation, I am requesting no plaques or trophies! What is appreciated are items that I can use like gift/gas cards, Starbucks or Trader Joes cards or items or products unique to your region or area. A donation to my favorite charity, The Way to Happiness Foundation, 201 East Broadway Glendale CA 91205 - (818) 254-0600, is also appreciated.
