CONCORD WEST TOASTMASTER LEADING THE WAY IN ZOOM INNOVATION

Our Club was not only one of the first Clubs in District 70 to both Trial and hold online Zoom Meetings. 

However members of our Club have introduced some really innovative ways of constantly challenging the Medium.

Our Club has initiated an alternative method of managing the timing of all presentation components of a Club Meeting.

You can watch our YouTube Video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9RI5PqRCtc

More recently  looking at an alternative to our Big Ears component where we challenge Members listening skills with an online program called Kahoot.

SUPPORT OUR VENUE THROUGH THESE TOUGH TIMES

The Club Executive has called on Club Members to not forget our New Meeting Venue during these difficult times. The suggestion is that we consider ordering Take-Away from Pron Prohm Thai restaurant in North Strathfield on occasions, to support Dereck and his fabulous staff. 

Make sure when you do order that you let them know you are from Concord West Toastmasters and wish them all the best.

Dereck really appreciates the support he is getting from the community and we want him to survive this very difficult time.
