What a fun night!
Liz Wo, Toastmaster and self-pronounced Christmas Fairy, ensured her wand led us into a merry time.
Damian Azz received his membership badge, lovely to have you join us Damian.
Deb Smith, our wonderful Area Governor, inspired us with a speech dedicated to "not being afraid to try something new" - Deb encouraged us to "try things" within our Toastmasters family, and externally. We are very pleased she has been visiting our club so regularly this year, as events later in the evening may have put a stop to that ...
Deb also had the honour of awarding life membership to Sandgate Toastmaster Annette T - a member of Sandgate Toastmasters for 33 years, and a definite asset, having held every executive position at least once and having mentored many new members. Congratulations and thank you, Annette!
Marlene and Leesa's Secret Santa allowed some a once-a-year opportunity to "steal" from others, while Trish's game of "Celebrity Antlers" provided others a chance to have people laugh at them ... okay, so everybody was jolly clever except for one ... one who was just SO pleased to have another chance to humiliate herself after having done so just one year ago. Ahh, c'est la vie, no hard feelings, I promise!
Thank you to all - we should be just so proud of being part of this supportive, instructive and fun group of Toastmasters! See you in 2011!
