King's Toastmasters

A bit of a different challenge at our last Toastmasters meeting! 😄

Usually our Wordmaster gives us a word we need to use throughout the meeting. This time, it was the opposite.

Our anti-word was “GREAT” and we weren’t allowed to use it all evening...turns out we say “great” a LOT! 😂

It definitely got everyone thinking, and our members didn’t disappoint. We heard all sorts of alternatives throughout the night and had a few laughs along the way.

So here's the challenge for you: try going a day without saying “great” and see what you come up with instead.

Have you ever tried an anti-word challenge? Give it a go, you might surprise yourself!

🎉 Celebrating 25 Years of Growth, Confidence & Community! 🎉

Last month, our Toastmasters club proudly celebrated 25 years of helping people become more confident communicators and stronger leaders. That's 25 years of members stepping outside their comfort zones, developed public speaking skills and discovering confidence they never knew they had.

Thank you to every member, past and present, who kept the doors open.

Here's to the next 25! 🎉

We are sad beyond measure that our dear friend and longstanding member of our Club, Jan Fuller, has passed away. Jan's support, encouragement, mentorship, and care for our Club and all our members has left a lasting impact. Jan has been a very active member of our Club since she joined in 2008, having been our Club President 3 times; Secretary 6 times; Treasurer 4 times; as well as terms as Vice-President of Membership, Vice-President of Education, and Vice-President of Public Relations. Jan has touched many lives and we will miss her greatly.

Last week, we received the very sad news that Jan Fuller, one of our school founders, passed away.

In the mid-1970s, Jan and others dreamt of starting a Christian school. They had no particular expertise in starting or funding a school from scratch, but they pressed ahead in faith.
They researched, offering their homes as bank guarantees with the aim of building a Christian primary school for approximately 200 students.

The same group of people were involved with establishing Emmanuel College as a Christian high school. The first minutes for Emmanuel College were taken in Jan's loungeroom.
Those early years were marked by significant sacrifice, hard work and stretching of faith.

Jan filled many roles over the years, from classroom teacher and Board member as well as sewing the first school uniforms. Jan continued to be involved with King's Church and King's Christian College. Last week, Jan presented an award at the King's Pimpama Primary School presentation night.

Jan's legacy continues through the thriving modern Christian schools that King's and Emmanuel have become, as well as the thousands of lives that have been impacted, both now and for eternity.
Vale Jan, we miss you.
