Christian T.

VP Education

Christian hails from French speaking Cameroon. He has been in Toastmasters since 2018, and currently working through his 2nd level Pathways project. The club appreciates his motivation and enthusiasm for getting us back to an in-person setting.

Tom Cronkrite

VP of Membership

Tom likes to garden as you can see by the large potato he is holding! Below he is addressing the group, probably discussing corn, tomatoes or how to grow potatoes for the community garden.

Kristin WT

Club Secretary/Treasurer, Past President

Kristin has been in Toastmasters since 2010. She finished her CC after 7 years (but not everyone takes that long). She joined Toastmasters after she saw two people at work with varying levels of speaking skills and appreciated the more experienced speaker. That was the impetus she needed to start looking for a club she could attend. She enjoys the myriad of interesting speeches brought to the club.

Danielle Holbrook

Past President, Past VP PR

Danielle joined Toastmasters as the speaking opportunities at work were increasing. Though she had taken Communications in college, that seemed like a lifetime ago. Toastmasters has allowed for her to brush off those dusty skills as well as improve on many others.

When she's not preparing for her next Toastmasters speech, she's hitting the trails with friends and family or catching up on the latest HGTV show for her next home project inspo.

Paul Spangler

Past President

Financial Planner, new addition to family. Joined Toastmasters after seeing Tom at a Rotary Club meeting. He has benefited from seeing a smoother delivery of his talks.
