Here is a thank you from a previous members - it's a testament to the power of Toastmasters !
"Hello to you all, just a quick note to tell you that I can't make it to the next meeting. I have been unable to attend for a while due to other committments but I will always be grateful for the wonderful opportunity Toastmasters has given me. I am now able to speak effectively in public and presented my first workshop a few weeks ago.
The experience of speaking regularly at Toastmasters has helped transform a quivering, mumbling, 23 second first attempt at Table Topics, vocalist, into someone who can actually enjoy the process of delivering a one day workshop to 25 people.Toastmasters really works and what's more the people that go are great!
So my sincere thanks to you all."
