The "Charlie's Angels" of Newtown Toastmasters!
This month we celebrated 3 of of our charter members achieving their communication awards. Congratulations to Victoria, Lisa and Dianne! The "Charlie's Angels" of Newtown Toastmasters!
Victoria and Lisa completed their Competent Communicator awards over the last 2 years and have amazed and entertained us with stories or their families, travels and work. Victoria excelled in the Area H4 contests last year as she showcased her humour and her fear of wetas. While Lisa has been a star player supporting the community by helping out in running Speechcraft workshops.
Finally Dianne who was a Club Mentor for Newtown achieved her Advanced Communicator Silver award and has been incredibly supportive of new members through their journey by encouraging them to take the first step towards conquering their fear of public speaking.
Many thanks to you all and keep up the fantastic work on supporting the Newtown community! 🎉👍🙂

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
