Latin Leaders - Toastmasters Club #583774

The theme of yesterday’s meeting was “Humor”.  Alberto had just given a speech on humor and has now chosen it as his theme for the meeting.  This was his first time as the Toastmaster of the meeting.  Delfino gave a speech entitled “El Cigaro”.  The speech was entirely in Spanish.  Delfino is progressing very steadily since joining in March and he is now half way through to completing his first CC award.  I notice a huge difference in his body language, vocal projection, and his confidence.  He has made significant improvements since his first speech back in March.

Salvador provided the table topics, entirely in Spanish.  That was fun, and challenging.  We had three guests and our return visitor, Jorge, joined the club at the end of the meeting.  Welcome Jorge!  I’m looking forward to seeing your progression during the next year.

After the meeting I gave a short presentation on the web site.  Club dues can now be paid online through Paypal and since these are due this month, I hope this will be a convenient way for everyone to get their dues in on time.

At our next meeting, we’ll have Brenda and Delfino giving speeches.  Delfino has decided to compete in the contest on Sep 16 so this will be his practice speech.  Cesar now has some competition.   This should be a great contest.
