Guest Speaker: Franchezca Sievers, Oh the Places You’ll Go

Franchezca was born in the countryside of Germany. Her parents had two children and her brother works for an international manufacturing company. Franchezca graduated in 1998 and love to read, meeting up with friends, gymnastics, and ballroom dancing. She did a two-year apprenticeship to become a legal assistance. She met her husband, Toby, during a ballroom dancing competition. He is an attorney. Oh the Places You’ll Go. Franchezca was a legal assistant 14.5 years. She did part time studies in legal studies at the university and became, what is comparable to, a paralegal. She married her Toby in 2008. Franchezca presented at several Rotary meetings with her then boss and became a member in 2010. Franchezca has traveled extensively in Europe and other parts of the world. Toby was an exchange student and attended SLV High School. They applied for a green card, and of the 600 Germans who received a green card in 2014, Toby and Franchezca were two of them! They arrived in SLV in July 2016. Oh the Places You’ll Go!

 

Detective: Don asked about questions about Miss America. President Karen received a fine right off the bat!
