The Community Challenge
The community challenge is a District 31 initiative to encourage district members to experience what the district has to offer, and at the same time, help our district community. The challenge is to see how many points you can achieve by participating in different community activities. A list of activities and points is given below in the Community Activities and Points section. Those who accumulate the most points will be eligible for awards and CLCON tickets!
Awards
The top 3 point earners each quarter will win a Toastmasters swag bag and the winner will earn a free ticket to CLCON 2025. The submission process has changed. To receive credit, please click the “submit activity” button below and complete the quick survey form:
Question about the community challenge can be emailed to the Community Challenge Chair at community@district31.org. Submissions go through the survey. Emailing submissions to the community challenge chair will no longer be counted.
Community Activities and Points
Below is a table of activities, and point values. Related activities are grouped into categories in the first column. Similar activities earn a different number of points. Qualifier 1 and 2 indicate why these activities have a different number of points. You can sort by column by pressing the up or down arrow on the top header row.
