Well done, Julie. Duties finished. Distinguished Toastmaster obtained too, after a long road and lot of work and speeches..
Soon, continue and learn more.
To do something different. Soon in Las Vegas for a week. Then back to London. On to new things. Even if I am not a young of 73 as in this photo any more but now, I also begun Standup Comedy. Through lots of problems with my health, I am still "going for it".

13 September, I was happy to have won the 1st place in the Humorous contest, but even more happy to have made audience laugh! Did I ever seen myself, looking so happy? Perhaps, when I was much in love, long time ago.
Chris Howell, District Governor of Toastmasters, and Contest Chairman, presents me with the certificate.

Area competition with the Humorous speech "Dare to Fail" explaining how I got something wrong at each of my Manual speeches. Here I am with the manual, containing the ten speaking projects that lead me finally, in November, to become "Competent Communicator" at Toastmasters.
Of course, there is so much more to learn!
Oh, how thin i was a year still after I arrived in London
________________________________________________
'Yes, I am ready to do the Manual speeches, but Contest? Me? No way!' I told in March
Soon I will give my 9th speech (all stories), but finally, of course, having won the Lewisham speakers Humorous contest, i did learn - something, after all, from each, again.
