Last Word Toastmasters

At Last Word Toastmasters’ meeting on Tuesday, April 7, there were ten members and three guests present via Zoom video conferencing. Two of our guests were Toastmasters from Billings and the other was a former member who is now in the San Francisco/Bay Area in California. That is certainly a silver lining to our video meetings — we can all see each other even when miles apart.
