We started our 10th Anniversary Celebration in January 2013

Shortly before Christmas, I found a letter in my mailbox from Toastmasters International sending congratulations on our club‘s 10th-year-anniversary… Our past Vice-President Education, Sina, and I managed to prepare a surprising special celebration event for January 2nd, 2013, together with our then-Immediate Past President Regina…

Andrea- Word Weavers President 2012-2013

How The Celebration Started…

Regina captivated us with her Word Weavers Hall of Fame speech …

Word Weavers Hall of Fame…

You may also realize that success and great appearance is never a result of perfectionism, but rather a combination of preparation, improvisation… some humor… and the will to never give up.
