🌟 What a Fantastic Night at Spirit of Devonport Toastmasters! 🌟

Tuesday evening’s meeting was an absolute standout, with Shellie guiding the night beautifully as our Toastmaster.

Our theme, “Moments That Changed Everything,” opened the door to rich and meaningful conversations, from choosing education and career pathways, to friendships that shaped our lives, to personal diagnoses that shifted perspectives. It was heartfelt, reflective, and full of connection.

We were also treated to Geof’s speech, which wasn’t planned to align with the theme, yet fit perfectly. He’ll be presenting this very speech at the District 73 Toastmasters Speech Contest this weekend, and we couldn’t be prouder of him.

The energy in the room was fabulous, supportive, inspiring, and full of those classic Toastmasters moments that remind us why we show up.

✨ A wonderful night of learning, laughter, and growth.
We can’t wait to see you at the next meeting on 26th May 2026.
