A message from Dave Pope, Postprandial Toastmasters President, 2009-2010:
The District 65 Toastmaster of the Year is awarded to an extraordinary member whose enthusiasm is so contagious it rubs off on everyone in the district; the industrious volunteer who is eager to perform any and all meeting assignments; the exceptional individual making uncommon efforts to recognize, encourage and nurture fellow Toastmasters.
The recipient of this year’s Toastmaster of the Year award was announced at the just-concluded Toastmasters District 65 Fall Conference, and I am very happy and proud to say that it is our own Kate Olsen.
Kate has worked very hard to support not only our club but also helped start the Geneva club and is coaching a few others as well. She is always one of the first members to step up to help the district and its clubs. She demonstrates the meaning of Toastmasters leadership and speaking in everything she does.
Postprandial Toastmasters (and welcome guests), please help me congratulate this year’s District 65 Toastmaster of the Year: Kate Olsen.Well done, Kate. You have worked very hard and you deserve this!
