A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT MZAMO MKHWANAZI !

Good evening Elevate Online Toastmasters family,
As renewal season arrives, I want to take a moment to thank you for your commitment to the brand Elevate and remind you just how much your membership means — not only to the club, but to your own journey of growth. Toastmasters has given each of us a safe space to find our voice, sharpen our leadership, and celebrate progress that often goes unnoticed elsewhere.
Renewing isn't just a formality; it's a recommitment to yourself, to the friendships you've built here, and to the members who are counting on your presence and support to keep this community thriving. Every speech you've given, every piece of feedback you've offered, and every meeting you've shown up for has added to a legacy we're building together — and there's still so much more ahead. Let's renew not out of obligation, but out of belief in how far we can still go, together.

Edwin Siyabonga Mnguni kindly send us invoices so we are aware how much we need to pay... Converted into Rands please 😊

WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY!

A masterclass
run by
🏆 International
competitor & champion🏆,
Bob Ferguson,
who hails from
United Kingdom 🇬🇧,
facilitated by
Estelle Engelbrecht 🇿🇦

🤔The topic was evaluation skills & methods used internationally. 🤔

🤩Always eager to upskill, Elevate Online Toastmasters Club was represented by, Zee Cele Freedom Munukha & Julie Davies . 🤩

🥳There was so much for the attendees to learn about raising their techniques, many different methodologies.
This will increase quality & add value to evaluations given at our club. And more benefits for our members! 🥳

🏅Elevate Online Toastmasters already has an experienced evaluator well familiar with such techniques. Julie Davies has learnt & practised through her membership at Worcester Speakers 🇬🇧 & working alongside DTM Bruce Finlay-Michie Laing from Canada 🇨🇦. Julie has regularly been 'Best Evaluator' & judged club competitions there. She demonstrates these methods in our South African Clubs & is eager to share the skills she has learnt over the years.🏅
