Toastmasters CC, ACB Pins and Ribbons

Wonderful photos of pins and ribbons of Competent Toastmaster and Advanced Communicator Bronze taken by Bayan Baru Club President Jessica Teo. The club bought these original items from Toastmasters International World Headquarters in California and dished them out to club members who have achieved these educational awards. One more reason to be a member of Bayan Baru Toastmasters, Penang Island, Malaysia.

District 51 to spin off a new District 87 and belong to Region 14

A bit history. Back in 1993, District 51 started with Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. Later, Hong Kong, Brunei and Macao joined. Then in 2004, a new District 80 was created for Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and Macao.

And as of July 1, 2010, another new District 87 will be created for Indonesia, Brunei, Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan.

Also Hong Kong and Macau will be moved from District 80 (Singapore, Thailand) to District 85 (China, Hong Kong, Macau).

District 51 will then cover just Toastmasters Clubs in Peninsular Malaysia.

All 83 Districts worlwide will be divided into 14 Regions. District 51 will be in Region 14.

Region 14 (effective July 1, 2010)
- District 51 - Peninsular Malaysia
- District 75 - Philippines
- District 80 - Singapore, Thailand
- District 87 - Indonesia, Brunei, Sarawak-Sabah-Labuan
