Happy 90th Birthday, Toastmasters International!
 |
| Sandgate Toastmasters & guests celebrate 90 years |
Toastmasters International was founded by Ralph Smedley in 1924, so we just had to be part of the year long Anniversary celebrations. Members at the meeting and our guests Norm from Narangba Valley Toastmasters and Kirsty posed for a photo before enjoying the delicious cake. Thanks to our other guest, Norm's wife Margaret for taking the photo.
The theme of the meeting was "Modes of Transport" and Toastmaster Reza had prepared some interesting information and quizzes about transport. It was Reza's first time in that role.
