Latin Leaders - Toastmasters Club #583774

Good Afternoon to all of you.  I wanted to ensure that everyone is ready for tomorrow’s meeting with regards to the people with duties and the speakers.

Please e-mail me back to confirm.  I will also be calling the people schedule to speak and that have duties.

 Thanks,

Hello Everyone,

I tried to edit the meeting and was unable.  The theme of this weeks meeting is “Exceeding Expectations” and the WOD is “Courage”.  It seems all the other assignments have been arranged.  I will prepare documentation.

Nahetzin was our Toastmaster for the evening, establishing  a fun filled, smooth flowing, yet serious meeting.  Her topic of the day dealt with family and reaching out to those you love.   

Our new member, Fryda, presented her Icebreaker speech.  She provided remarkable insight into the views of how her family and the Hispanic culture in general perceive life as growing up, getting married, raising kids and having that white picket fence mentality - and how the norm is not what she is seeking.  She shared with us her desires, her wants and her ambitions of working in the field of international business.  You go girl!  

Her speech was preceded by Nelson’s fantastic evaluation.  Nelson, also a new member to our club seems very experienced in public speaking- Note to Nelson:  the pen! (just kidding) 

Beatrice was Table Topics master and had some thought provoking questions which ”hit the nail on the head” and had our members really thinking and providing interesting responses.  Duty masters did an extra-ordinary job - and watch out for that grammarian.  Kudos to all!  See you next week.

We had another wonderful meeting. There were three new guests that attended the meeting: Sandra, Rosa, and Emmanuel. It is so exciting to see new folks who strongly desire to improve their lives by overcoming their fear of public speaking. Welcome new guests! If you decide to join our club, you will see your public speaking skills improve dramatically.

Our meeting was conducted in mainly in Spanish. Nelson and Beatrize delivered two wonderful ice-breaker speeches and they are a nice addition to our club. Carlos O. and Dan gave constructive feedback to the speakers. Also, Pat ran the evaluation portion of the meeting in a efficient and professional manner. Pat, your speaking skills have improved greatly! You exemplify what a person can accomplish in Toastmasters.

Nahetzin, great job with Tabletopics. You always seem to use your creativity with this role. Oh yes, that picture you showed me was lovely!

Where was I, oh yes, at the end of the meeting the executive board met to discuss some important issues. I will assign a mentor to each new Toastmaster. I will be calling you within the next few days to provide you the contact information of your mentor. Your mentor will help you with your speeches or anything else that you need to help you prepare for your speeches or other roles.
Have a great weekend,

Salvador Zamarripa
