Happy Birthday Gaby!!!!

"Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities.
It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...
when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth."


- Sarah Ban Breathnach

A very special birthday for our Vicepresident of Public Relations, Gabriela Garcia.

More party on Saturday!!!

S112

The first session after we got back from Guadalajara and winning the International Speech Contest. Things have been hectic, but we are managing to get through.

The Toastmaster of the day was Victor Flores, with his very particular style he introduced his core team made up by Timer, Karina Hernandez; Grammarian, Violetta Rios and General Evaluator, Gabriela Garcia.

Two speakers delivered their speeches, Efren Zazueta, with project 8 from the basic communication manual called "Lie to me" and Hector Cartagena, with project 2 from the basic manual as well, presented "Aikido, the martial art of peace". The speakers were evaluated by Julio Rodriguez and Aydeli Rios.

Instead of Table Topics, those that went to the convention spoke about their experience, giving the spotlight to Dorina, who passed around the trophy and let everyone feel its power.

Another Delta Victory

And so, the adventure continues

So after 2 hour flight delay, sleeping in the wrong room, the real reason we came to Guadalajara was here: the International Speech contest.

This year, ten participants graced the stage. The last contestant was ours, Dorina Garza Leonard. The room was almost packed, but we were nervous.

When the moment came, she took the stage like a storm, drawing everyone into her speech "My children are to blame" I paniced when I didn't see the green light and she was about to wrap up.

After a few moments of stress and panic, the winners were announced.

Dorina snagged the first place, making her the first one to ever bring home this trophy


And now, time to prepare for Vegas

It's Official!

Lo and behold! The moment we all have been waiting for since the beginning of the year. Delta is finally an official club. It's been 10 exhaustive months of forming the right team, but finally, we have received recognition from WHQ that our chartering documents are in order and are ready to continue with the Chartering process.

Every club has a number assigned, it makes administrative tasks easier and it contributes to give the club identity. The number assigned to Delta is 1412619.

Happy Birthday Cotty


There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.
-Sophia Loren

November 11 marks another milestone in the life of our club's godmother. Cotty, thank you for believing in this and pushing hard to make this dream come true. May you have many more wonderful birthdays ahead.

Happy Birthday, from Δ
