Hello Toastmasters Family,
Another great evening in the books. With 13 members present, we had a quiet but productive meeting.
Juan Martinez was a first-timer in his role as Toastmaster of the Evening. Curtis Lassiter was General Evaluator. Danita Fox was Table Topics Master.
Speaker # 1 was Robyn Roberts. Her speech was evaluated by Victor Lopez. Robyn is a Master Gardener and she gave a wonderful speech in which she shared tips on successful gardening and setting up an herb garden. According to Robyn, there are 4 main ingredients to a happy herb garden: sun, soil, mulch, and water. Here are some tidbits from her speech: always pick a sunny location as herbs need lots of sun; use good, organic soil to help plants grow themselves; buy good quality herbs; use mulch to prohibit weeds and to encourage earthworms; water the soil, not the plants. Plenty of great advice for those who want to grow an herb garden.
Speaker # 2 was Stan Dalziel, evaluated by Magda Brugos. Stan's speech was titled "Interview for my Dream Job". Stan delivered a presentation in front of a mock job interview panel and convinced all of us why he is the best applicant for the job. His speech was followed by a "question and answer" session. The project came from Competent Leadership manual. Good luck on your real job interview, Stan. You did very well!

Speaker # 3 was Tim Tonkovic, evaluated by Bonnie Parker. Tim's speech was titled "These boots are made for walking." Using a pair of baby leather boots which he had found in a New York antique store, Tim spun captivating tales of who the little boots might have belonged in the past. He talked about the lives of Jacob Cohen aka Rodney Dangerfield, a great American comedian, and Anna Mae Bullock, who became world-famous under the stage name of Tina Turner. Tim's gift for telling stories and using humor was evident in his speech.
Danita Fox as Table Topics master presented us with one topic: "What's bothering you?". It was a rare opportunity for everyone to vent and to gripe! It was certainly fun! RIBBON WINNERS:
Best Speaker: TIM aka TOM TONKOVIC
Best in Table Topics: VICTOR LOPEZ
Best Evaluator: VICTOR LOPEZ ( yes, Victor did swoop both awards tonight!)
See you next time,
