Congratulations CST Club!

Great job, Comfortably Speaking Toastmasters for achieving the President's Distinguished Award (highest distinction/award)!!

Here's how we did it!

Thank you to the following club members who made it happen:

• Kyla Werrett: CC Award
• Euna Son: CC Award
• Raf Qutub: ACB Award
• Odecca: ACB Award
• Supriya: CL Award
• Odecca: ALB Award
• All 26 new members who joined from July 2013-June 2014
• All executive officers (Odecca, Raf, Euna, Kyla, Jinky, Jason, Nadia, and Connie) who were trained
• Euna, out Treasurer, who submitted the membership renewals on time
• Nikita who submitted the list of officers on time

CST's outgoing officers also would like to extend its deepest gratitude to Toastmasters Jocelyn Vezina (DTM) and Nikita Pchelin (ALB, ACB) who were always very supportive and helpful to the club. A big thank you to Toastmaster Kathleen Wong (DTM) who presented an evaluation workshop to all the new members.

Special thanks to Toastmasters Jocelyn, Nikita, Kathleen, and Supriya who helped me behind the scene and guided me all the way, You made me strong because of your guidance. You gave so much energy and you added so much value to the club.

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the great efforts of Toastmasters Raf and Euna for all the sacrifices that they had given to the club! Your time and efforts meant a lot to the club (FYI, they tried so hard to finish their speeches for the sake of our club's goals before June 30th. And yes, they made it to the TOP!). I also would like to share with you some "cute" moments that happened with Raf. Raf was unable to make it initially because of his responsibilities at home and work. But with Nadia's help (for those who do not know Nadia, she is our VP of PR and also a member of our club but she had to be away for a moment because of their newly-born beautiful Jineen), she encouraged Raf to finish his award! Nadia helped Raf to research Raf's topics. I highly appreciate both of your efforts, Raf and Nadia!

To everyone, we are so lucky that the next officers are too eager to make our club better and more amazing! Please continue to support the club by regularly attending to the meeting, participating in the club's Distinguished Club Program, and taking some roles to enhance your communication and leadership skills.

Good luck to the next team!

Sincerely,

Odecca Ordonez

Outgoing President
