Hello Toastmasters,
Luis Estrada thoroughly enjoyed filling in as el Presidente. Important
upcoming business includes:
1. Elections are around the corner. An email about nominations will be
coming soon.
2. June 13 will be a speech-a-thon run by Pattie. Please let her know
if you would like to participate.
3. We are 5th in the district for advance communication.
Toastmaster was Pattie and the theme was Yard Sales. She gave us some
great information on yard sales and a number of humorous observations. Some
people are able to pay for their vacations with yard sale profits. She is
begging people to take items.

We had three guests: Blu, Issac, and Susie Minskey.
Ray was our first speaker. His speech *Shots Fired, Now What?* was filled
with rotten tomatoes. His incredible focus, delivery, and content on what
to do in case of a shooter (Run–Hide–Fight, in that order) engaged even the
most difficult audience members. His evaluator was Luis who appreciated how
well done the speech was and gave a couple of suggestions for managing the
rowdy crowd.

Jeff gave us T*he Science of Getting Your Sacroiliac In Gear*. We learned
how you can be half dead and still make your morning coffee with Jeff's
hand visual aid of the brain stem, limbic system, and cortex. His evaluator
was Colette who praised Jeff for a well-organized speech that finished on
time.

Dirk spoke on the *Sequence of Verbal Communication*. He reminded us to
be aware of our audience and any physical limitations with his
illustration. He did not have an evaluator.

Kathleen was the table topics master and created a blind yard sale.
Participates picked a dollar amount (without knowing what the item was) and
then explained why they were excited about their newly acquired item.
$0.10 got Dirk a Vanilla Ice CD.
$12 earned Robin a new desk.
$6 landed our gest Blu an ice cream maker.
$5 added 32 NFL mini helmets to Zachary's collection.
$0.25 secured a screwdriver for our guest Issac.
$0.99 was enough for Jeff's faux fur cost.
$6 for a set of Martini glasses made Sparky money.
$9 horrified Bill with cat high-heels.
$10 purchased a stroller for Susie.
Robin was the general evaluator and gave everyone grades with some good
feedback on how/why they earned those marks.
