A toast to one of their own

IT was with great pleasure Noosa Toastmasters awarded their first annual scholarship to an up-and-coming member of the club.
Monique Daniels, a Year 10 student at St Teresa’s Catholic College, joined Toastmasters last year and has consistently shown the will to develop her public speaking and leadership skills.
Monique has completed several projects from the Competent Communicator manual and has even taken the step of being Toastmaster (MC) during a meeting.
“She is enthusiastic and committed and it was wonderful to be able to offer a young person such encouragement,” Noosa Toastmasters president Tim Topalov said.
Her scholarship covers 12 months worth of fees and will allow Monique to continue her journey towards being a competent communicator. The award was a surprise to Monique who had no idea of the club’s plans.
