Toastmasters Club celebrates its first
Achievers Toastmasters SVG celebrated their First Anniversary on becoming a Chartered Club on May 5th. That date was also significant in that two members of the club completed their tenth Speech Project to receive âCompetent Communicatorâ awards, and Achievers Club SVG obtained the status of âDistinguished Clubâ – the minimum required goal of every Toastmaster Club in the world. {{more}}
âWeâve all become one big happy family,â says Jan Bradshaw of Achievers. That family numbers 21 members to date. Wendie Wilson, Secretary, says âA year ago, I would shy away from speaking in public, now itâs like chatting with friendsâ.
From May 17 – 21, 2007 President Monica Woodley and VP Education Jo Elliott both participated in the Semi-annual Regional Toastmasters Conference and Speech Contests held in Jamaica. They reported: âThe Conference was a tremendous experience of Caribbean integration. Two hundred representatives from Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Curacao, Bonaire, Barbados, SVG, BVI, St. Marteen, Jamaica and Haiti come together under one theme – âOut of Many – One Voiceâ. We didnât bring home the speech-prize bacon, but we brought a wealth of knowledge, sharing, learning and memories of fun and new friendshipsâ.
Achievers Toastmasters Club SVG meets the first and third Saturdays of each month at the Haddon Hotel at 4:30 p.m.
