CONCORD WEST TOASTMASTERS END OF YEAR CELEBRATION – TUESDAY 17th DECEMBER 2024

PRON PROHM RESTAURANT 

NORTH STRATHFIELD 

Concord West Toastmasters celebrated the end of a Calendar Year with a fabulous night at our former venue Prohm Prom Thai Restaurant in North Strathfield. It was particularly good to have almost all our current Membership present for fine food, great fellowship and fun Trivia. We were also able to celebrate with our first ever ‘mum to be’ member of our Club and wish her well for the upcoming birth. 

We resume on the second Tuesday in January. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our followers.
