When it was dark, my brothers would pick me up and we would walk the streets... I hated school and wanted to drop out early.

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.

We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A reminder about the Open Meeting with Dinsdale Toastmasters club.

Tues 28th 7pm at the Western Community centre, Hyde ave, Nawton.
Anyone over the age of 18 welcome to attend.

Of our 7 senior members we have a combination of 147 and a half years in Toastmasters but a combination of 115 and a half years in the Dinsdale club (4 of us had been previous members of other clubs). So if you decide to join our club there are several members with a ton of knowledge who can assist you in every aspect of Toastmasters life.

We look forward to hopefully meeting you tomorrow night (28th) however if you are unable to attend the Open Meeting you may attend any Tues night.

See you all soon.
