AREA 6 CHANGEOVER NIGHT & DINNER 2020

Outgoing Area 6 Director Rani with the assistance of Burwood Toastmasters outgoing President Henrik organised a face to face Handover Dinner at the Burwood RSL on Thursday 2nd July.
This provided an opportunity for representatives of both outgoing and Incoming Club Executives to meet, enjoy a meal and the odd beverage and for AD Rani to both handover Trophies won in earlier Competitions as well as acknowledge a number of Club and Individual success.
It also provided an opportunity for incoming Club Executive to meet the Incoming Area Director, Sachin.
We were also entertained by a friend of RaniÆ's who managed to get a few of us up on our feet recalling some old favourites.
