Thank you to John T. for organising the event, as well as Leanne and many other Toastmasters who contributed to a successful evening.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to District 69!
ReplyDeleteJohn S.'s speech was very informative. I could certainly tell he was part of a speaking club for some years. I'm looking forward to the 50 years Sandgate Club party.
John T and team certainly did an amazing job organising, decorating and planning the program. So proud to be a part of such an awesome club.
Really lovely evening, thanks to John T and his team for organising this dinner
