                                                         We return to a series done a few years ago where

                                                         we introduce Division Directors to our readers.
                                                         We begin this year with Renee Taylor, DL3 -
                                                         Division A Director.


                                                         Why did you join Toastmasters?

                                                             It may sound odd, but for decades I wanted
                                                         to join Toastmasters. I just never seemed to
                                                         have a clear opportunity, that is until moving

                                                         to Bandon, Oregon in 2019. After only a few
                                                         months in our new home, I received a flyer
                                                         inserted with our utility bill about an open
                                                         house being held by the local Toastmasters

                                                         Club, Myrtlewood Hootowlers. After just one
                                                         Club visit I joined and finally, after decades,
                                                         became a Toastmaster!


                                                         What has been your greatest Aha! Moment

                                                         in your Toastmasters journey so far? Why?
                                                             I didn’t join Toastmasters for friendship,
                                                         but that’s what I found. The camaraderie
