Celebrating 25 Years of Speaking Excellence
The White Rose Toastmasters club recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of their founding at the West Manchester Township building in York. Current members of the club were joined by several former members in celebrating the club’s silver anniversary. Breaking from their normal meeting format, the club opened the floor to anyone who wished to speak about their experience with the club over the past 25 years and how they have benefited from the Toastmasters program. The club also presented a special award to their charter member, Carl Jacobs of York, who founded the White Rose Toastmasters club in 1983 as part of the requirements to achieve Distinguished Toastmaster status, the highest level in the Toastmasters program.

44 Speeches and Several Years Later… Local Toastmaster receives Highest Award available.
On May 15th, 2008, at StambaughNess, the White Rose Toastmasters club presented John Brown of Ephrata with an award for his achievement of Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM). John is the first member to receive his DTM through White Rose in the club’s 25 year history, and has been a member of the White Rose Toastmasters club for 20 years. The Distinguished Toastmaster is the highest recognition a member may receive in Toastmasters. To receive this honor, members must complete 44 speeches and serve in multiple leadership positions within the Toastmasters organization.
