To honor and respect Amy Samet’s dignified term as magnificent yet modest president of our club, the theme chosen for today’s meeting was equally dignified: “HOORAY FOR SHORT SKIRTS!!!!” Amy headed up the short skirt brigade followed by several other pairs of legs, including Carlos’. Keith wasn’t distracted in the least bit, and stayed focused on his Toastmaster duties, especially getting into the short skirts… you know, he really played up short skirts… He liked the theme is all I’m sayin.
Wendy, showing off some serious ankle in her long skirt, squeezed in some great table topic questions for John, Drew and Eric. No surprise that John had a international flair to his story while his students were visiting today and of course Drew was very comfortable putting it all out there, reminding us all why we miss her so much!! Eric was not as comfortable talking about cross-dressing as Keith always is, so he kept it very short — a cute little mini.
Staci Livesay was a knock-out today, and her speech wasn’t too bad either. Actually, it was one of those Toastmaster ‘ringer’ icebreakers that are so great you forget it’s an icebreaker! Well done! The next skirt giving a speech was Maria, who is on her 8th! speech already!! She provided us with even more eye candy than we already had with vacay pics from Jalisco, Mexico. Finally, the one, the only Amy the love doctor Samet gave us a simple 3 step test to tell if we’re in love, which was fantastic but I stopped listening after she mentioned my guy Dillon… **daydreaming**
And as a final goodbye to last year’s rockin’ officers Louis, Lora, Drew, myself, and Rey & Leeanne in spirit, Amy gave each officer a big thanks and a hug. Which reminds me that this is also my last recap, but never to fear — I am being succeeded by a very energetic and creative tag team of writers: Keith Smith & Taline Manassian!!

Hey Austin Toastmasters,
Looks like you all know how to have fun with the short skirt theme.
Curious about Maria’s vacation speech and pics from Jalisco, Mexico.
Here did she go?
You see I retired early to Mexico 7 years ago, and checked out of the rat race forever.
Now I live in the world’s best weather (according to National Geographic) on Lake Chapala, in the state of Jalisco Mexico.
Next time you’re traveling to Mexico, check out Lake Chapala, near Guadalajara.
Retired in Mexico and Loving it,
Joel
