The additional recruits bring the membership tally at the club to 26.
On the evening, the newly enrolled received membership certificates and committed to the club’s values by reciting the Toastmasters pledge.
Club president Richard Francis said Egoli Golden City, which is the brainchild of Toastmasters International, is always excited to welcome new members on board, while it looks forward to recruiting even more in the future.
The NPO further looks to reach a membership tally of 30 members by the end of June as part of its growth objectives.
Francis said the club is an effective incubator for individuals looking to become effective communicators and leaders and offers courses which are designed to assist people to find and expand on their communication strengths.
“The club has pledged to support members, particularly new ones, in all their learning endeavours,” said Francis.
“Our job is to bring Toastmasters to as many people as possible.
“The fact that we got eight people in the last three months that we’ve inducted, is very special and we’re very proud of it.”
Francis also noted that the new members stand to benefit both personally and professionally from being part of Egoli Golden City.
“They are going to be able to improve on their leadership skills as well as their communication skills.
“They are definitely going to expand on their network and have fun while participating in the Toastmasters programme,” he said.
