Helen in Action Around The World

Navy newsletter about the Installation Ceremony of the Naval R&D Toastmaster Club --- the one I joined in June of 1970. I continue to attend, mentor and enjoy. Click Here to read the newsletter
     

     
   
The Helen Blanchard Trailblazer Award for this year was presented to Christoph Kubitza in recognition of setting up formal mentor programs within District 5. The picture shows last years recipient, Joyce Persichilli and me.   A recent speaking engagement was at the Felicita Humor Toastmaster Club's 30th anniversary located in Escondido, California on May 26, 2011. I do continue to speak locally and stay active in Toastmasters.

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.
