🌟 No Texas Dragon Toastmasters Meeting on June 28th — Join Us at MCMF Instead! 🌟

Dear Toastmasters and friends,

Our Texas Dragon Toastmasters club will not be holding a regular meeting on June 28th, 2025, as many of our members are coming together to support a meaningful cause — the MCMF (Multicultural Music Festival) happening the same day!

🎉 Why MCMF?

This is more than just an event. It's a vibrant celebration of cultures, music, food, and community. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for Toastmasters to practice leadership, communication, and teamwork skills — all while giving back to the community. 💪🏽

🎤 From helping at booths, assisting with logistics, or simply welcoming attendees, this is our chance to live the Toastmasters values outside the meeting room.

✅ Want to join us?

📍 Location: UT Dallas JSOM & Davidson Auditorium

Bring your friends and family, wear your biggest smile, and let’s show what Texas Dragon Toastmasters is all about — leadership, service, and community spirit! 🔥🐉
