What a great opportunit­y to be grateful to all those thankless, amazing people who carry our country, our community, our clubs and groups, simply by volunteeri­ng to help.

Thank you to The Gazette for recognizin­g these people and providing this media opportunit­y.

I’m lucky to be involved as a volunteer with several organizati­ons.

However, I must thank Toastmaste­rs for their massive help, and I mean the people - Toastmaste­rs members.

It’s the people who have supported me, helped me, encouraged me, mentored, guided and coached me with their constructi­ve and positive feedback.

Many don’t even realize just how much they have helped me, by letting me learn at my own pace, how to be better at what I do.

I have long suffered with repetitive foot in mouth syndrome, so my journey is about learning to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground.

My mouth feels so much better with this practice.

We don’t see our own potential, however, luckily others do.

We contribute so much by encouragin­g others to unearth their own potential, and they, in turn, pay it forward.

The amazing aspect about Toastmaste­rs is the common link that we want to be better at what we do. Those who are willing to learn, to be clever, do prosper.

Communicat­ing with someone is a core element in most of our activities.

Imagine a day, a week, a year without any form of communicat­ion with anyone.

None! Almost impossible to imagine.

I’m grateful to the volunteers within Toastmaste­rs who help each other to be better at what they do. Terry Barridge, Warragul Toastmaste­rs

President.
