Trish delivered a farewell speech, advising us that this was her final Toastmasters meeting. She told how she had joined Sandgate Toastmasters over 30 years ago as a shy introvert and now has a thriving
business and has written 22 books. But she has decided the time is right for her to leave Toastmasters. She received plenty of hugs and well wishes.
