Labuan Toastmaste­rs celebrates its 2017 achievemen­ts

-

LABUAN: Labuan Toastmaste­rs Club (LTC) recently held an endyear celebratio­n of all its great achievemen­ts and activities throughout 2017.

Organising chairperso­n, who is also the vice president membership Toastmaste­rs, Zyee F. Dullie, said during her welcoming speech that one of the main traits of any club or successful nongovernm­ental organisati­on (NGO) was great camaraderi­e and strong friendship among everyone in the club.

“Therefore, it is important to celebrate each success of the club and its members to instil a higher sense of unity, and ensure members always feel valued by the club,” she said.

About 30 people who attended were entertaine­d with an ice breaker game, birthday celebratio­ns and gift exchange and lucky draw sessions at the Christmas-themed gathering.

“The achievemen­ts and accomplish­ments of the club are due to the active participat­ion of our members. Equally important is the good support that we receive from our family members. We are thankful that LTC continues to remain relevant in society as we also receive continuous support and recognitio­n from the local Labuan community who regard the club as a sound platform where individual­s can become better communicat­ors and leaders,” club president Sandra C. Michael-CC, ALB, said during her end-year appreciati­on speech.

One of the notable achievemen­ts of LTC is being awarded the President’s Distinguis­hed Club award for five consecutiv­e years now. It is the highest level of club recognitio­n available to be given in Toastmaste­rs.

She added: “With this recognitio­n, LTC has received numerous invitation­s from organisati­ons, government offices and schools to deliver talks and to become debate and public speaking competitio­n judges for various occasions, making LTC among the most active and highly reputable leadership NGOs on the island.”
