this endeavor is what made each edition not just publication, but a reflection of our collective
spirit. While this may be the end of the Voices! magazine’s run, it is far from the end of our story-
telling.

The legacy of this publication will live on in the voices it has amplified and the connections it
has nurtured. I encourage you to continue sharing your stories, wisdom, and insights through
the many channels District 7 Toastmasters offers. Let us keep building each other up, inspiring
growth, and championing the mission of effective communication and leadership.

A special thank you once again to Phillis Harmon for her pioneering vision and to Leela Seeber
and Jennifer Schmidt for their exceptional stewardship. As we step forward into new
opportunities and innovations, let us carry the spirit of this magazine — the spirit of shared
stories and shared success — with us always. Here’s to the next chapter in the journey of
District 7 Toastmasters.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Dr. Gwendolyn Avington, District 7 District Director
