Latin Leaders - Toastmasters Club #583774

A big congratulations to both Ernie Aguilar and Pablo Gomez. In less than one year as a Toastmaster, they have not only completed all 10 speech projects of the Competent Communication manual, but have also dared to compete at an Area contest. In fact, Ernie has competed twice. Completing the CC manual is a monumental task that many new members never do complete. But to complete that in less than a year is a very rare accomplishment for first time members.

These two accomplishments are a significant achievement for the club as it reaches it’s ninth goal towards the club’s plan to be a President’s Distinguished Club this year. We are On Our Way!

As this is contest season, there are some important dates coming up that you should put on your calendar now. The next area contest in our division is March 23 at the Irvine Ranch Water District, registration starting at 5:30 PM. See the flyer for more details. The final Area contest will be on March 30 also at the Irvine Ranch Water District, registration starting at 5:30 PM. See their flyer for more details on that contest.

All of the Area winners will then compete at the Division A contest to be held April 21 at the Tustin Senior Center, registration begins at 5:30 PM. Pre-register early to get a discount on the ticket price. See the Division Flyer for more details.

And finally this year, the District contest will be on May 5 at the two day District Conference to be held at the Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel in Buena Park. The best speakers in the district will be there competing for the number one spot in the District who will then go on to compete at the International stage in Orlando, Florida.
