CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!

The Last chance club officer training was a success!

A huge thank you the the following:

Stone Road Toastmasters for providing the facility for the training

All of our facilitators, Terri Miller, Melanee Jessup, Assad Kamal, Margaret Virani, Lin Buxton, Nancy Movrin, Michelle Munroe, & Carol Moeller.

and our District representative District 86 Governor Doreen Hillier.

Without you and many other this could not have happened.

We had 18 people show up for this training (although I suspect a few did not let me know who they were)

and Stone Road Toastmasters actually received one guest who will return for a regular meeting.

special mention:

Trained at this meeting was Ian Horne area 3 governors and treasurer for the Northern Advanced club in Sudbury and 3 more of the club executive from Agvantage Toastmasters in Guelph. This brings the total number of their executive trained to 5. was to be on track for distinguished club.

Thank you to all of those who took advantage of this last training session and stayed for Carol Moeller's judging workshop. I know we could have gone longer but building security was pushing us out the door (Sorry Carol).

I took a series of pictures, I will post one here and the rest will be on flickr.
