We need more new clubs
Toastmasters is a growth organisation, so obviously we are working to expand our activities through new clubs.
Toastmasters WA
We are very close to approval for the proposal to form our own District in WA. We need to show momentum and numbers. These 4 new clubs maintain the momentum after our fantastic growth spurt last year and bring us up to 50 clubs in WA. 50 sounds so much stronger than 49 or 48. We are through that psychological barrier. Now we are driving along the home straight to 60 and beyond.
