At Last Word Toastmasters’ meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 3, there were 12 members in attendance. Our Toastmaster for the evening was James Bennett. He encouraged us to change the “why me?” narrative to, “why NOT me?!?” We had three prepared speeches. Marlenea La Shomb fascinated us with her talk on Diagnostic Face Reading. Kathy Lippert gave a very humorous and enjoyable ice breaker — her first speech of many to come. Club President Josh Flores talked about social media and how to use it to our advantage, showing a video he made to accentuate that point.
