 Speechcraft 2008

Canning Vale toastmasters members were very busy during the months of July/Aug/Sept helping to run Speechcraft courses for Australia Post. The courses were very successful helping not only the speechcrafters themselves, but also our members gaining much experience on how to run and present such courses.

CVTMs Christmas meeting was a fun and festive event. All members had a great night and even Santa came along for a visit to distribute presents to all the good members.
Here Billy sings White Christmas while Santa and Robyn look on.
Ling was a good little Toastmaster and received her present from Santa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Santa got so carried away giving out presents that he accidently sat on the club gavel. I think he needs to loose a few kilos, too much beer Santa?
