Hello Los Gatos ToastMasters!
Welcome to our weekly email blast. Well, not so weekly these days due to me ramping up my role as a Product Manager for AI Infrastructure. I attribute much of my recent professional growth to Toastmasters and hope that you will too.
We are very excited by the recent division contest at Xilinx Corporation. 7 of our members attended and many were fairly new to Toastmasters. The contest winners will go on to the district contest and could continue to be World Champions! The above photos features members Phoebe receiving an award for our club and myself as the Chief Judge in the Evaluation Contest.
A big shout out to our newest members since our last newsletter: Soheila Assadi, Ann Scott, Afie Mobini, Victoria Kurnavenkova, George Tsagaris, Siva Sivaram, Shreyasee Chand, Sofya Elperin-Smirnov. Welcome aboard!!
Scroll down for info about on our Social Get-Togethers, Club News and finally some Public Speaking & Leadership tips. Our tip today is from the 2014 World Champion of Public Speaking.

Club News
With all our new members we expect to have some great ice breakers in the coming weeks. A few weeks back Afie gave a well prepared and bar-raising ice breaker.
We had a few notable guests: Henry Miller, DTM gave our members a sampling of an advanced speaker. And then we had Krishna Nora practiced his Division Contest speech which was very inspiring. His speech was even better at the next level division contest. Remember, many new Toastmasters dive right in to do these contests and help facilitate ditrict meetings!
