Hello all, we hope that everyone has been enjoying the weather and getting outside a bit this past week! Our latest meeting was a good one and we thank all who came out and added to our session.
Dumindra served as Toastmaster for the first time today, and she did a good job of being welcoming and encouraging while leading the meeting. Congratulations Dumindra and we look forward to seeing more from you! Table Topics Master Sam asked questions such as "what is the biggest thing you learned that you didn't know when you were younger?" that got participants to practice impromptu speaking and share a little bit about themselves with the group. Guest Pardeep provided an evaluation that included helpful points and insights. Congrats on your first evaluation man! Laura gave a great analysis including points for improvement as the Table Topics Evaluator. General Evaluator June provided feedback for all of us to learn from.
We thank all who were able to come out to our meeting this past week. We look forward to our next meeting and welcome all members and guests to join us. Public speaking is a valuable skill for everyone and practice is always a good thing!

May 8 Meeting
Hey everyone! As the weather finally starts warming up and it starts to feel like we're close to summer, we hope everyone had a great week. We enjoyed our last meeting and thank all that came out and contributed!
Toastmaster Sam got the meeting started with the theme of "important job skills", and we shared skills that we think are key during our introductions. Speaker June gave a speech about our awesome club President Charith. She talked about qualities we all appreciate in him as a leader and a friend, and she engaged us with a great speech. Congratulations June! Table Topics Master Stella provided an interesting question during the session, which was "what would you do if you only had 1 day left to live?" June gave an intriguing and multifaceted answer to that one! Speech Evaluator Heather gave insightful points during her evaluation, while Norman also provided a very good analysis. Chi Chi was very encouraging and helpful during her Table Topics Evaluation.
We had a good time together at our past meeting this week. Thanks to all who came out, and we welcome members and guests to join us for our next meeting this Wednesday!
