CVTM President’s Message

Dear Canning Vale Toastmasters,

It has been a busy period for the club with

Speechcraft and the international and

evaluation contests.

First off, I would like to say thank you to

everyone who helped support Chandana with

the recent Speechcraft course, I'm sure it

helped boost your confidence in your capabilities as a speaker and a trainer. The

money raised from the Speechcraft goes back to the club and helps members

education via subsidized convention tickets and speech manuals.

Congratulations to Mike Palmer and Vanessa Chang for winning division finals. I'm

sure they will give the other contestants a run for their money at the District

Convention. Also wanted to say thank you to those members who are supporting

clubs in our area such as Gosnells, Armadale and Southern River. If anyone is

looking to give extra speeches, please don't hesitate to contact these clubs to be a

guest speaker.

- Foo Man
