Fausto Molina and Area 53 Governor Luz Guzman
Area Governor Luz Guzman, ACB made her official winter club visit last Tuesday, February 23. The theme was Winter Games. Karen Fisher chose the word of the day, Alpine, an adjective, (relating to or characteristic of alps; “alpine sports”). Although the table topics participants were not following the Winter Olympic Games, they were still able to express an opinion of the theme and of winter games in general, olympics or otherwise (making a snowman in the park with your son). Fausto Molina delivered speech #3, Get to the Point, from the Competent Communication manual, titled, ”Boy Scouting”. Luz also delighted the club with a speech from the Entertaining Speaker Advanced Manual titled, “The Gringa in Nicaragua”. The speeches were evaluated by Luz and Julian Hernandez, respectively.
Speaking of evaluations, the club will re-introduce the written brief evaluations at the next meeting. After each speaker completes his or her presentation everyone in the audience will have 1-2 minutes to write down comments for the speaker. This is a great opportunity for the members to receive, not only the oral and written evaluations from the assigned evaluator, but from everyone attending the meeting as well. Evaluations are an important aspect of the Toastmasters educational program. Therefore, the theme for the next meeting will be Effective Evaluations. The date is Tuesday, March 2 at 7:15 p.m. Don’t miss it!
