Galway Toastmasters will mark its 25th anniversary next week and to mark the occasion an anniversary meeting and celebration will be held on February 28 at 8:30pm in the Menlo Park Hotel. There will also be presentation of Toastmasters’ highest achievement to a local member.
The evening will be a mix of a regular meeting for the first hour and a half or so - with talks, stories and memories shared - and food, refreshments and chat with members, guests and former members for the second part. There will also be the presentation of a Distinguished Toastmaster Award (DTM ) to one of our longest serving members.
