Today is Saturday, Mar 13, 2010
We meet at the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at 2130 E. Fourth Street, Suite 160, Santa Ana, CA 92705. Meetings will start at 6:30 PM and end at 7:35 PM. There is parking available in the rear of the building. For more information, please call 714-352-0312.
Latin Leaders is a
Toastmasters International club which meets every Tuesday night from 6:30 to 7:35.
Our club is bilingual. The first Tuesday of every month we hold the
meeting in Spanish and encourage our members to do their presentations/table topics in Spanish, although it
is optional and you may speak in either English or Spanish at any time. We strive to have two speakers every
week and a table topics session to give an opportunity for everyone to practice speaking. Additionally, all
members participate in meeting roles in an organized environment. Our focus is to improve leadership skills
as well as speaking skills in a way that is enjoyable.
The feedback from most people who visit us (and most of them join us) is that our club is very supportive of
all members, encouraging participation and providing positive feedback for the development of our members -
but you should experience that for yourself. You are welcome to join us as a guest any time and let us know
what you think. For more information email us at info@latinleaders.org,
or just walk in on Tuesdays and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Today’s meeting: Creating Opportunities to Grow
Fellow Toastmasters:
We had 7 members and a guest attend today’s meeting. It’s amazing to see three new Toastmasters at our meeting continue to participate in the meetings and improve their public speaking skills. Cristina Villa ran the meeting, had an agenda prepared, and also put the tables and chairs away! Ramon Diaz ran the Tabletopics portion of our meeting and did a wonderful job. Jose Vasquez volunteered to be the timer and gave a detailed explanation regarding his role.
Sal Zamarripa gave a speech titled “Power of the Pitch” and spoke about how a speaker’s deep voice can improve one’s credibility. A deeper voice is always better than a high-pitched voice. He mentioned that a public speaker should strive to speak in a deeper voice to reduce one’s stress and to improve one’s power over his audience. Changing one’s low pitch can occur overnight!
Martin Cruz/ Todd Swain gave detailed evaluations. We missed our President Nahetzin Velasco and our Governor Dan Cossack. We look forward to seeing all of you at our next meeting.
Regards
SGZ
We’re back
Back from the holidays and refreshed. Our first meeting of the 2008 year was a very nice change from our regular meeting format. Each in attendance spoke for three minutes on our New Year resolutions and our goals for the this year. Some of us are still ailing from the flu bug going around (myself included) but we still managed to have a strong showing at the meeting. I pushed myself to speak and now I am paying for it. The next morning I lost my voice and could not talk above a whisper.
On the second half of the meeting we all wrote down our educational goals for the year and passed them to Cristina, our VP of Education. We are still on track for reaching our club goal of Presidents Distinguished Club by June this year. If we do, we better have one big Salsa party!!!
