 | | Abeline Greene (Abbi) Vice President Membership
I heard about Toastmasters last year while attending a life coaching seminar, but didn't follow up on the information until a close friend asked me to read at her wedding, which filled me with dread. I realised that I needed to build my confidence speaking to an audience and so I went to my first meeting at the beginning of 2008. As a result of Toastmasters I successfully delivered the reading and received several compliments. Toastmasters has become an integral part of my personal development.
