Hello Los Gatos ToastMasters!

  Welcome to our weekly email blast. We are very excited about our club contest on Sunday Feb 10th. Great chance for our members and guests to socialize, relax and enjoy another sunny local venue -- Charley's LG Wild West Tavern. The winners will go on to the Area Speech Contest and could continue to be World Champions!

  Last weekend a few of us attended an inspiring District Seminar. The keynote speech was a tour de force in storytelling. Our amazing Area Director Karen had an excellent speech on Extraordinary Impacts: how to make them and Phoebe and I attended a powerful speech on conducting evaluations at toastmasters or business.

  Special thank you to all our officers that received district training on their new officer roles!
   
  Scroll down for info about on our Social Get-Togethers, Club News and finally some Public Speaking & Leadership tips. Our tip today is the use of Kanban boards for productivity.

Club News

  Last week we had two very different Ice Breakers. First up, Don Fickles gave us a preview of his contest speech and some impossible slight-of-hand. Soheila Assadi gave a heart-felt overview of her life. Well done by both speakers! Kent once again handled the ToastMaster role with Barb covering Table Topics. Our Area Director Karen Cornwell (right) won the night's best table topics competition. Lots of great guests made it a fun evening once again.

  This Tuesday we will not meet and instead encourage our members to attend Sunday's club contest.

  Please join me in welcoming new member Ann Scott. She has come as a guest several times and finally made the leap! 

  Thank you for those supporting our effort to win two District awards: ePresence Best Club Website & Golden Quill Best Club Newsletter.
