Finally, we were delighted to present the District 28 Communication & Leadership Award to Mr. Chuck Gaidica, Chief Meteorologist for WDIV-TV (Channel 4 in Detroit) and host of radio station 100.3 WNIC's Breakfast Club.  We were thrilled that WDIV sent a news crew to cover the award presentation and his remarks.  A report was broadcast on Saturday's 11 p.m. edition.  (Great publicity for our organization!)  Mr. Gaidica indicated that he plans to talk about Toastmasters on tonight's 5 p.m. broadcast, about 5:20 p.m., time permitting.  Cross your fingers and, if you can, tune in!

For Speaking and Leadership Excellence,

Todd
