Never Know Who You Will Meet at TV Toastmasters

Leanna Lindquist, DTM

Monday, May 11th was business as usual at TV Toastmasters. It takes a village to produce
a 30-minute TV program. All programs start with two hosts bantering back and forth. Co-
hosts for this show was our newest member, Jesse Martinez, and Darren Lacroix, 2001
World Champion of Public Speaking. The highlight of the program was Darren’s

interview with Libra Forde, our District 7 International
Speech Contest winner. Libra will be going to the
Semifinals of the World Championship of Public
Speaking in August at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.
