Lilydale Toastmaster club is excited things are finally getting back to normal with regular face to face meetings returning at Mount Lilydale Mercy College every first, fourth and fifth Monday of each month.

Like so many clubs, the group has lost members during Covid lockdowns and had to resort to online platforms, so it’s great for members to be back together again.

Pride is a very self-indulgent emotion, but it is what every long-term member of the Club feels and commits to year after year.

With limited members this year there is a full executive prepared to support the Club, the Division, and the District.

Some of the highlights for the upcoming year will be to compete in speech contests overseas with he best public speakers in the world.

Four delightful visitors who joined our meeting on Monday May 9 with President Joy Harte were given key opportunities for personal growth that will positively change their lives for ever.

On this first visit new members Mathew and Cath agreed to be part of our meeting Agenda.

Both were asked an impromptu question that was responded to with such skill that the Lilydale membership voted Cath the Best Table Topics respondent.

Her smile when presented with the accompanying certificate lit the entire room.

Everyone is welcome to join the Lilydale Toastmaster Club.
