President’s
Remarks: Kate
has accepted the position of Interim President until July 1 when Sonia will
take over the position. We are waiting
for Kate’s tenth speech so we can be recognized as President’s Distinguished. Let’s not let Chandra hold his breath any
longer; he did so much to encourage all to do their part to achieve the
distinction.

Quote
of the Day: Tom
C.--“Americans spend an average of 29 hours a week watching
television…which means in a typical life span, we devote 13 uninterrupted years
to our TV sets! …Cutting down just an
hour a day would provide extra years of life—for music and family, exercise and
reading, and conversation.” Michael
Medved, Radio talk-show host--------"and Toastmasters" Tom C.
Table Topics Master: Robin gave us all un-birthday gifts, photos from the paper
that we thanked her for and spoke about. Robin always has a clever bag of
tricks so we can visualize speech information.
Speaker 1: New Member Eva, CC #3, Get to the Point; “”Gender vs Technology”—Eva
gave her first speech by speaking on a Math Class presentation that she would actually be
giving in a couple of weeks. She
informed us about the widespread use of technology with men preferring video
games while women preferred texting. She
set out to prove this theory by gathering data and presenting the results of
the survey in graphs.
Speaker 2: Rachel presented a speech on mentoring, with
the goal of the mentor being to learn to be a leader while the goal of the
mentee being to learn faster. She gave
us a challenge—each of us should be a mentor.
General Evaluator: Kate
Evaluator #1: Elaine for Eva—Elaine
solicited feedback from all members, as requested by Eva. Eva is on the fast track to improving her
“English as a Second Language” presentation skills as she prepares for the
college experience.
Evaluator #2: Tom for Rachel—Rachel made a dry subject
personal by inserting personal stories to her very polished speech style.
