On February 14, 2009, Helen attended
the Toastmasters International Board Meeting at World Headquarters ... it brought back memories of Board Meetings
past. It was just 31 years ago on Valentine's Day that the Board Meeting opened with a woman seated around the
table for the first time - Helen Blanchard! President "Dobbie" Dobson had a lovely red rose by her name
plate.
