Transitions

Good Morning Toastmasters,

As general evaluator Lucille said in her closing remarks, “Tonight was a lot of fun”….

right on Lucille.  Last night was fun, due in large part to Alex’s well thought out and 

high energy table topic presentation.  The theme being “transitions” was a hit and 

there were so many well thought out and high energy speeches from members and 

guests.  In particular Charles’ speech on “what truly matters”.  Ernestina followed up 

with a concise evaluation of us all.

Again we had a Las Vegas style buffet for break time, hosted by Michael……

Thanks Michael, you’re the Man.

Two speeches in the second half by our president (Evaluations) and Sam 

who gave his 10^th and final speech in the Competent Communicator Manual……..

Congratulations Sam.

Our Toastmaster for the evening, Larry, kept us right on time so that we made 

sure Michelle was home by 10.

Thanks to all for making this a fun night, and we will be dark next week 

(Memorial Day), so see you in 2.

Water Preservation

Fellow Toastmasters,

We started early with an officers meeting to plan for the upcoming 
change of leadership and possible dates for the installation. 
More on this to follow.

We had a couple of firsts last night with Daniella hosting as 
Toastmaster and Daniel as Topic Master……both did a terrific job.  
Daniel tackled the theme of “water preservation” 

with well thought out questions and followed through with smooth t
ransitions between victims while Daniella kept us entertained throughout 
the evening and was able to conclude the meeting early. 

Our break time refreshments ala Alex, Larry, and Dee could have fed us 
for a week…….thank you so much.

Two special speeches in the second half from Florence (Make Every Day 
Special) ) and Fabian (How to Succeed in Life) were so inspiring and gave 
us a reason to come back next week.  By the way, this was Florence’s 
10^th manual speech in the Competent Communicator……..Congratulations 
Florence.

General evaluator Ricardo, gave us some inspiring thoughts to conclude 
our successful evening “last night”.

Thanks to all and have an inspired successful week!

Byron

Tongue Twister

Fellow toastmasters,

Tongue Twisters was our theme last night and it was amazing how so many were able to repeat and make a coherent table topic speech.  Brian, our topic master was so natural which helped to calm the nerves with his thoughtfully presented questions.  Michael followed with his observations on our strengths and “need for improvements”.……nice job!

We had 3 speakers following a nice intermission.  James (Sam videotaping a how to give a presentation speech)), Michelle (her experience in the Miss Chinatown Pageant), and Juju (Club Leadership Manual).  All three speakers had to deal with some uncertainty and technical problems, but they handled it like true Toastmasters. 

Thanks to Toastmaster of the night Florence and General Evaluator Alex.  A Special thank you to Daniel for providing us with healthy refreshments.

Make it a Great week.

Cruise

Good Day Fellow Toastmasters,

What a fun meeting last night.  With “Cruise” as our theme, we had fun recalling and speculating about our memories and dreams with this timely Table Topic.

Florence handed out the questions that were diverse and thoughtful. 

We had the pleasure of having 2 speakers, Brian (hunters and farmers) and Alex (take a hike) that were entertaining manual speeches. 

The evaluators who included, Dee, Migo and Charles did a great job in giving their thoughts on the “good, the bad, and the ugly”.  Juju wrapped it up by giving us her thoughts on how we could improve our future meetings.

We had the pleasure of 3 guests, George, Sergio and Kelly.  Kelly is a visiting toastmaster from China and gave us an interesting look into her romantic city.

Have a great week!
