Tales & Tellers
All of us have different strengths and weaknesses in storytelling. What are yours? Do you wish a fairy godmother would suddenly appear and magically wave away those pesky nervous tics or endow you with a fabulous vocal instrument?
Unfortunately, no fairy godmother was available, but Tales & Tellers Toastmasters is a great venue to hear accomplished speakers, to practice storytelling, and to learn from excellent technical presentations that focus on a different storytelling skill set.

Toastmaster Time TV
Toastmaster Time TV, the district’s television show, gives D57 members the chance to speak on television in a real TV studio. The show gives members the chance to hone their skills in a very different environment. Speak on Toastmaster Time TV to build experience by speaking to a camera! While it may sound challenging, our guest speakers are always happy with their experience.
