Gilbert Toastmasters Club is a Non Profit Organization helping members become better Leaders, Speakers, Listeners and Thinkers.

This week’s Table Topics theme was "Weekend Upda This week’s Table Topics theme was "Weekend Update"—SNL-style headlines where participants were read a headline from the "news desk," then called on to reenact the story. 

Rajeev Dave held a hilarious company meeting in his Table Topic where he berated the audience jovially and was left with no choice but to cancel email at the company. 

Guacy Barnes gave a speech that started playfully then had the audience on their feet as she laid out what it truly takes to turn dreams into reality. 

Vincent Feutrier gave the best evaluation of the night, and showed how to turn a good speech into a show stopper. 

Damian Carrillo, our recent Tall Tales winner, won the Vicki Treciak spirit award this week for his incredible attitude and commitment to serving the club as VP of Education.

Congratulations to our award winners of the evening!

Whether you’re conquering Table Topics or delivering a prepared speech, remember: Excellence begins with the fundamentals.

Thanks to our amazing speakers tonight for making their “beds” and showing up prepared! 

Your dedication inspires us all. 👏

The theme of our meeting was Leadership Day, which The theme of our meeting was Leadership Day, which was fitting, because we began with the induction ceremony of our new leadership team, welcoming them formally into office. 

We then kicked off the meeting centered around the discussion of what it takes to be a great leader.

We realized the best leaders we know don’t pretend to know everything. Instead, they:

✨ Ask better questions
✨ Listen more than they speak
✨ Admit when they’re wrong
✨ Empower others to shine
✨ Show up consistently, especially when it’s hard

Leadership isn’t a title you earn—it’s a choice you make every single day. It’s about serving others, not being served. 

Thank you to our outgoing Gilbert leadership team, you set a high standard of excellence and service for our incoming officers to model as we continue the Toastmasters mission of empowering individuals in our communities to become more effective communicators and leaders.

Congratulations to all our award winners of the evening!
