District 29 is deeply saddened by the passing of one of our most distinguished and longest serving members – Bennie Bough – on June 10 at the age of 96. He first joined Toastmasters in 1969 and was a member of four clubs (Bennie Bough Toastmasters Club, Springfield Toastmasters, Galloping Governors Advanced Toastmasters, and Virginia Advanced Speakers Club). He also served as International President from 1992-1993.
Bennie was a dedicated servant leader, not only to Toastmasters but to other organizations as well. We invite you to read more about his extraordinary life of community service and commitment to others here:
