Dear Talk For Change Members,
Thank you for your kind words and warm send-off for me at our meeting on Feb. 19. I’ve been hosting the TFC club in APPA’s conference room for nearly three years and have enjoyed every moment I’ve spent with the group. Toastmasters kind of fell into my lap because the TFC club needed a place to meet, APPA had a place, and--among APPA staff members--I had the flexibility to stay after work a couple nights a month. I’m happy to have had the opportunity to learn about the Toastmasters organization—clearly I should have become involved in it decades ago. But, be assured I will be an evangelist for Toastmasters going forward because I’ve experienced first-hand how it helps us become better speakers and better leaders. I’ve learned a lot from all of your speeches and I learned a lot from preparing my speeches.
Thank you, too, for the Container Store gift certificate. Getting my house more organized is at the top of my retirement plans, so nothing could be more perfect.
The best part of Talk For Change has been the new friends I’ve made. While I’m leaving my job, I’m not leaving the universe — and I’m not even leaving the DC area. So, please stay in touch. My home email is jeanne.labella@gmail.com.
I wish great success to the club and success and happiness to all of you, TFC’s wonderful members.
Warm regards,
Jeanne
