Sunset Toastmasters

What’s New

Officers

Each year, from July 1 through June 30, Sunset Toastmasters is served by a dedicated team of club officers. We have picked our new officers. Congratulations!

Contests

Once again, we have to tip our hats to our own Betsy Ross, who won the District 4 Evaluation Contest! Betsy had the best combination of positive, sympathetic, motivational style and clear, focused analytical qualities as she evaluated a powerful test speech given by Emily Dickinson of District 57 (East Bay). The speech, titled “I Slipped and Fell,” was Emily’s account of surviving domestic violence.
