This
would go down in history as the most memorable meeting in Extol Toastmasters
Club! Thank you, Great men and women of Extol Toastmasters Club for making it
possible!

certainly lived up to our theme of the meeting, “Together, we can move
mountains”. We had busted so many barriers in our paths and achieved success
not only for ourselves but also for our club!
