Celebrating Excellence: Go for Gold Campaign Awards

Inspiring Growth and Achievement

Throughout September, the District Trio—Jeff Zhang, District Director; Tom Bielski, Program Quality Director; and Maree Pickens, Club Growth Director —embarked on a journey to honour the outstanding achievements of clubs in the Go for Gold club growth campaign. Their visits were filled with excitement, pride, and a sense of community as they celebrated the hard work and dedication of the winning clubs.

Canning Vale took out the double! They won the Capture the Moment medal estimate accurately predicting the number of Gold and total medals Australia would win in the 2024 Olympics in Paris. They also took out Silver in a last minute dash to the finish line of the Triathlon. 

Triumphant Clubs in the Go for Gold Triathlon

  • Gold Medal: Mandjar Toastmasters
  • Silver Medal: Canning Vale Toastmasters
  • Bronze Medal: Harrisdale Piara Waters

Mandjar Toastmasters enjoyed the spoils of their success and proudly received their 100 year centenary pins during the Club Contest that night. Here’s the club officers and guests.

Harrisdale Piara Waters were very proud of how many newer members contributed to the club’s success in Go for Gold and showcased the evening on their website. Read all about it in “oh what a night

Each club’s success was a collective effort, with contributions from club officers who completed their training, members who submitted Pathways awards, and new members who joined during the campaign. These dedicated individuals were honoured with award certificates and a prized 100-year centenary pin. The celebrations were sweetened with exquisite pastries from French Resistance, sponsored by the Melaleuca Prison Speechcraft program.

Visionary Leadership Recognized

The Trio also visited Swan Toastmasters, winners of the Club Visionary Challenge. Their visit coincided with the club’s Humorous and Table Topics Contest, making it a memorable evening filled with laughter and pride. Swan Toastmasters received Toastmasters merchandise and an award certificate, recognizing their visionary leadership and commitment to excellence.
