It seems quite appropriate that Concord West
Toastmasters kicks off its new Toastmaster year with a milestone meeting Number
1200. A very special point to ponder the many Club Members who have gone before
and in their individual way – have contributed to the sort of energised and
exciting meeting we had on this 1200th occasion.
The Theme – New Year, New Goals.

BREAK
Call to Order – Jake
Chairman Two – Paul V
Toast – President Bernard – “Our Families”

The theme was that each speaker was given 4 nouns – a
city, a colour, a fruit and an emotion and had to weave them into a one minute
story or scenario.
Very creative and extremely challenging. Great fun.

SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
Both the Area 6 Director
(2015-16) Katherine and the District 70 Club Growth Director (2015-16) Peter were
present (as members) of Concord West Club tonight.
However as outgoing Phillip
Division Governor (2014-15) Peter Crosby requested permission of the meeting to
make 2 belated Awards on Club Members.
Firstly to outgoing District 70
Treasurer Anna Perdriau for her service to District 70 Treasurer, in particular for this last 12 months in the
preparations required to create the brand new District 90 from the northern half of the
old District 70.
And a Merit Award as
Recognition of Distinguished Service to outgoing Area 6 Governor John Hughson.
These awards were announced at the recent District 70 Changeover Dinner but the recipients were unable to attend so it was particularly appropriate to receive them from our very own Immediate Past Phillip Division Governor in his final duty.
