Michael McGarry provided the Test Speech for the Evaluation Contest at the Northern Division Toastmasters Conference on Saturday 26th April. He provided an extremely entertaining speech with plenty of humour, to which everyone in the audience could relate. For Mt Sheridan Club members, we listened with pride as Michael gave a repeat performance of his Ice Breaker (first speech ever) titled “Generation Y” to an audience of over eighty people. Congratulations Michael!
