Meeting was called to order by SAA; after the pledge,  the president came to the lectern to welcome members and guests.  Stacey Felipe, Daniel Finch, Regina Gilliam, and Charlene Salter-Gilber were inducted as new members. Afterwards, the lectern was turned over to Toastmaster of the Evening, Wade Miner.  The Toastmaster of the Evening introduced the General Evaluator Victor Lopez to the lectern so that he could introduce the evaluation team and have each member fulfilling that role explain what they will be doing during the meeting.  Upon completion of the role explanations, Wade then introduced the three speakers for the evening.

Danita Fox was the first speaker. She spoke about rethinking how we think about first impressions.  Following Danita's speech was Tim Herrity.  Tim spoke about how reality TV is not good for the young viewers. The third and final speaker was Daniel Finch. Daniel completed the Ice Breaker, the first speech in the Competent Communication manual.

Tim Tonkovic was the Table Topics Master for the meeting. Tim used technology by generating questions on his IPad for the audience. There were four participants: Christy Gardner, John Harmon, Stacey Felipe, and Rick Boyer.

General Evaluator Victor Lopez led the evaluation team to give speech evaluations and reports. 
The meeting was brought to a close after brief announcements and ribbon awards.  Next meeting is August 2nd.
