A photo of smiling Wandin Toastmasters climbing on a frame in a playground may not seem symbolic of a Toastmasters Club but at Wandin Toastmasters, they embracing a challenge sent to three states to produce an award-winning promotional video – and they won!
Wandin’s club is six years young, and in that time it has won the highest Toastmasters International Club award every year.
The unique club has a member who was awarded the Toastmasters International District 73 (SA, VIC, Tas) Outstanding Toastmaster of the year award 2021-22 and our members consistently serve on the district leadership team.
It is a hybrid club allowing members to attend club meetings in-person or online.
The highlight of any year are members who join and strengthen the fabric of our club, like Madi.
Madi started Toastmasters after a one-afternoon meeting on a cold and dull Saturday in September 2021.
“I thought that it would be a bit of afternoon fun and that would be it. I was seriously mistaken,” she said.
“I had found my people and decided to join Wandin Toastmasters right away. These were going to be the people who would help me in more ways than one.
“My paperwork was quickly completed, and I had become a part of something bigger than myself and found something that was my own.”
Madi has grown so much since that September meeting. Toastmasters helped her through some tough decisions over the past six months – some short and long term, and others life-altering.
“I landed an interview for a receptionist position at a physio clinic, with the confidence that Wandin Toastmasters has given me, I walked into the interview with a strong aura of boosted self-esteem,” she said.
“It took four days before I heard the best news: “Madi, we want to offer you the position.” I was finally aboard the train of success, and I couldn’t have done it without Wandin Toastmasters.”
Come join Wandin Toastmasters, like Madi, your path to success could be a reality within a fun, joyous environment where you will find the amazing YOU.
