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.
