School Students Say Thanks

After conducting our Primary School Public Speaking Competition we received the two following letters of thanks from participants.
 
 
Dear Rotary Club of Pakenham,
I am just writing to thank you for the opportunity to perform in the Speech competition last night. It was a wonderful experience and we were all made to feel very welcome. Your host Ken was excellent as he made us relaxed and at ease, making it less scary for all of us.
I thought it was wonderful listening to all the children and the speeches were both interesting and inspiring. Although I am a teensy bit scared of garden gnomes now!
It is amazing that you are able to give 11-year-old girls like me this chance to represent not only ourselves, but also our school. I felt very proud of myself and Sophie.
The prizes were very unexpected, but very much appreciated. I was overwhelmed by the Rotary Club’s generosity.
As I mentioned in my speech, the stage is my happy place, so thank you once again for the experience and happy memories you helped create.

Dear Mr Rook,

I would just like to say a big thank you for hosting the Rotary Public Speaking Contest. This was a great opportunity for me as I love pubic speaking and I enjoy getting up in front of people and presenting speeches that everyone can enjoy. I would mostly like to say thank you for the wonderful plaque and the check as I wasn't really expecting such a generous prize. You were a amazing host and very kind and positive. When I went home that night I was not only proud of myself but I also didn't want to leave the warm and happy environment that is in the Rotary Club Room.

Thank You

Now, doesn't that make you proud to be a member of the Rotary Club of Pakenham.

 

And WELL DONE to all those who were involved in the organisation and running of this annual event.
