District 55 now has a "traveling" bookstore. District 55's bookstore is a convenience and benefit for our members. You save time and shipping by purchasing items at the bookstore. Previously the bookstore was only open at the two semi-annual conferences. Now the bookstore will be open at several team meetings also. The traveling bookstore will have limited items for sale. The regular bookstore at conferences will continue to have a larger inventory. If you would like to order any items to pick up at the next bookstore stop, review the 2003 Supply Catalog, then email the Bookstore Coordinator at bookstore@tmd55.org and list what item, catalog number and quantity you would like to order. You will be informed when and where the next stop will be and whether the item is in stock or it needs to be ordered.
Proceeds from this online bookstore will benefit District 55 Toastmasters and Toastmasters International. In association with Amazon and not managed by the Bookstore Coordinator.
