I am pleased to report that our club's VP Education, Jean Harber and VP Public Relations, Al Velosa have also completed their officer training using the online option.
Many thanks to the dedicated District officers who shared their insights and guidance, and to SAACA Catalyst Creative Collective for making their meeting space available.

We celebrated a century of Toastmasters International at this week's meeting with some special speeches and tasty snacks.
