  1. A great job Marlene , you captured me beautifully. Well done to Tammy on that great 'Ice Breaker', really enjoyed it. Also congratulations to Amanda Hazelman on completing her Competent Communicator. I am Amanda's mentor and have had the pleasure of watching Amanda set her own goals by putting herself on our program and challenging herself with all the different roles our members can try. Amanda had a clear agenda on gaining experience speaking and presenting, this has not only been noticed by her fellow toastmasters but her employer as well. I am so sorry I missed your final 10th speech from the Toastmasters CC Manual and receiving the 'Encouragement Award' at our changeover dinner, you truly deserve this award........your mentor Leesa
