The Winelands Toastermasters Club celebrated its 600th club meeting in January â building on the legacy of those who started the club about 30 years ago.
During the meeting several past presidents paid tribute â including Charmaine Sparrow, Michelle Williams, Anlie Botha and Annemie Muller.
All highlighted the confidence and skills that Toastmasters build and the safe and supportive environment that the club offers.
âWinelands Toastmasters is the fertile ground of enthusiasm, involvement and support that its members need,â Charmaine Sparrow, club president from 2011 to 2012, said.
âItâs a learning laboratory â not only to develop speaking skills, but also invaluable leadership skills. It is of utmost importance to recognise, in this time of uncertainty, that there is a need within yourself and in society for growth and leadership,â she said.
