Hello everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying your final week of March. Spring is in the air and I'm sure you are enjoying it as much as I am.
When I think of springtime I think of renewal and rebirth. I think of new opportunities and the hope of a renewed and stronger America. It reminds me of our mission at Toastmasters. We are to develop our skills for personal growth. Each day we have the opportunity to reinvent ourselves or to improve on our strengths. Each day the choice is ours and I thank God for the opportunity.
I'll see you next week as we celebrate growth again!
Talk soon,
Juan Alcantar,
President

A Toast!
To my fellow Toastmasters:
What a great club! We're off to a great year with speeches, contests, a wonderfully committed group of officers and a strong membership. We are continuing to build momentum and it makes every meeting that much better.
I propose a toast to the Odessa Toastmasters:
For a genuine interest in being the best,
For a devotion to self improvement, and
For the mutual support and encouragement that sets us apart.
Thank you.

Evan thank you for getting this page up and going. I want to tell everyone that was unable to attend the meeting on Tuesday, how much fun they missed. I really enjoyed the table topic competition even though I was forced to participate. (Not really, just strongly encouraged) Being new to Toastmaster's I was not sure what to expect. I will be unable to attend the next meeting, but look forward to seeing everyone on 3/10.
