In a daring raid McMaster Toastmasters has stolen the Golden Toaster from Brant Toastmasters!
As reported by Patrice Sterkenburg of Brant:
"A raiding party of three members from McMaster came out to Brant this evening and took part in our meeting.
Alison Feierabend performed an inspiring speech entitled "If I Can, You Can."
Mike Parchimowicz and Tom Bering both provided insightful and astute evaluations.
Through their diligent efforts they earned the right to abscond with the Toaster and carry it back to McMaster.
Brant Toastmasters had liberated the Golden Toaster from Valley Town Toastmasters April 28th.
We thank the McMaster members for joining us tonight and for their most welcome contributions to our meeting."
McMaster Toastmasters has regained the lead!

They came, they spoke, they evaluated, they stole!
Brant Toastmasters swiped the Golden Toaster!
Five members from our friendly neighbouring club in Brantford visited Valley Town Toastmasters to participate in the Area 51 Golden Toaster program.
This program was designed to encourage Toastmasters from other clubs to visit one another.
In "stealing" the Golden Toaster, Sara Hillis (far left) presented a speech and both Janice McDonald (third from left) and Ken Klunder (far right) gave evaluations.
Also visiting from Brant Toastmasters was Bill Jol (second from left) and Julia Sek (third from right).
Valley Town president, Kenrick Chin (second from right), is also pictured presenting the Golden Toaster to our friends.
Thank you, Brant Toastmasters, for the fun and good spirit that you brought to our meeting!
