History

TOASTMASTERS 75 CLUB HISTORY - Chartered in 1994

In 1994, Toastmasters 75 (TM75) was founded as an off-shoot from Toastmasters of Paris (TMP). TMP’s meeting place was filled to capacity. 

Henry Blount, Gordon Smith, Lynn Lindstrom, Reg Howe, and Peter Kenton decided to form a new club open to students, unemployed and anyone who could not afford to pay for a restaurant meal twice a month. 

The 75 in our Toastmasters name refers to the French department, Ile-de-France. No other name has been proposed since.

Antoine Beaugendre

President

I'm an engineer who likes board games, symphonic metal, and cookies.

I joined Toastmasters 75 in 2019 to develop my self-confidence,

communication, and leadership skills.

Serving by leading instead of following is new and very challenging to

me, but I am grateful to have an amazing team besides me!
