Club President’s Message
TM Prarthana Liyanaarachchi
“...the direction of a kite is dependent on the person who bears the thread of it.”
It is a great privilege for me to add a note for the second issue of Kegalle Toastmasters Newsletter, Kegalle Keen. Today we as one family have come a long way which is amazing and remarkable.
As I always believe, a leader is nothing without the team. most valuable factor in our club is the human resource. diversity of Kegalle Toastmasters membership is immense this has contributed a lot to the club to make it a quality club to top the club in District dashboard this year.
The The and and
As a team, we have been able to do wonders during this year. In addition to being among the first five clubs to achieve DCP 10 points, we could be eligible for the Golden Gavel Award for the very first time in Kegalle Toastmasters history while earning the highest points in the District by the cut-off date. We could also get 8-80 membership award in both terms. We have achieved much more which will take few more paragraphs for me to elaborate. We are so proud to share these achievements with others simply because this is just the ultimate result of selfless commitment and enthusiasm of the Executive Committee, the members and the guests.
Toastmasters year, 2020/21 is a bliss to Kegalle Toastmasters family. We could add more success stories to the history during this year. The most important success story is the strong bond we could create among each other. As I feel this family bonding is the key for our journey so far. That is why I would love to call ourselves as “Kegalle Toastmasters Family”. We as a family, now have a bigger challenge to continue this momentum in the coming years too. Leaders will come and go, but the club always will be there for generations. That is why, our focus must be on correct leadership in the coming years, because the direction of a kite is dependent on the person who bears the thread of it. Long live Kegalle Toastmasters Family!
