Hello Future Unicorns!!! Welcome to the queer side of toastmaster’s, we might be gay but we still start on time🕡.

However, if you’re local or just in town we would love ❤️ to see you in-person 🧑 on our hybrid nights. *If you haven’t been to a toastmaster meeting here is a rough outline:* **Introduction –** We go over an agenda, people who have already been assigned roles give a brief description of their duties. **Speakers 👩‍💻 –** This is where the magic happens. Members give prepared speeches ranging from a first timer to a professional orientator regaling us on how he became a jeopardy champion. **Table Topics 🤷‍♂️ –** These are short impromptu speeches lasting between one to two minutes based off a provided question. Don’t worry you don’t have to give a straight answer. 💅 **Evaluation 👩‍🏫 –** In the third act evaluators review our skills, time, grammar, and filler words. We also have special event nights like XXX, Halloween, Backwards Meeting, and murder mystery night. So come join us….

Rise up singing Singalong

Come Play Gaga (Dodgeball variation) - or just hangout @ Alameda Gaga Court

Gaga is a fast-paced, low-impact version of dodgeball played in an enclosed pit. It's easy to learn, quick to play, and a great way to meet people. **Never played or even heard of the game before? No problem!** Most people pick it up in just a game or two, and we'll explain the rules when you arrive. **No experience, athletic ability, or prior knowledge required!** Just come ready to have fun! The location of the court on Alameda island is here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8 ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8) The rules of Gaga are super simple and as follows: * *All players start with one hand touching a wall of the pit.* * *The game begins with a referee throwing the ball into the center of the pit.* * *Once the ball is in play, any player can hit the ball with an open or closed hand.* * *If a ball touches a player below the knee (even if the player hits himself or herself) they are out and they leave the pit. If a player is hit above the knees, they are still in.* * *Players cannot hold or throw the ball* We will go over the rules when we start so no need to memorize these! **Not sure if you want to play? Come anyway!** Whether you want to jump into every game, give it a try and see how it goes, or hang out on the sidelines and socialize, you're absolutely welcome. There's no pressure to play, and you don't need to know anyone beforehand. The goal is to have fun and meet people! If you have any other games like spike ball, cornhole, or soccer or volleyballs, please feel free to bring them as well! Depending on the number of attendees, we can set up additional activities on the side for people to play in between rounds of gaga

RagaMenco: A Musical Journey from India to Spain

Bay Area-based ensemble Ragamenco explores the connections among North Indian classical music, flamenco, jazz manouche (aka gypsy jazz), and improvisational traditions through the musicians' use of sarode, tabla, voice, guitar, cajon, piano, and double bass. In the cozy surroundings of the Red Poppy Art House, where Meetup members have previously seen this ensemble, this seven-piece band's music can be easily heard and fully appreciated. SEATING is General Admission, mainly on folding chairs. TICKET PRICE ranges from $29 to $45 (including online service fees), depending on discounts (seniors and students) and when you buy your ticket. NOTE that there is an Early Bird discount on ticket purchases; those tickets seem to be selling fast, so I'm posting this event earlier than usual. See more info and BUY YOUR OWN TICKETS at the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ragamenco-tickets-2002988044159?aff=ebdsoporgprofile WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: Unless joining me for dinner beforehand, meet no later than 7:00 p.m. outside the Red Poppy, when the doors are due to open. (The concert goes from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.) HOW TO FIND ME: See my pic with my Meetup profile. (I'm WF, about 5 feet tall, now with short, salt-and-pepper hair and glasses.) LOCATION: Red Poppy Art House, located at 23rd and Folsom in San Francisco. TRANSIT: Located about 5 blocks from 24th Street BART station. Also located within one to four blocks of various Muni bus lines. Parking is on the street. (If driving, allow extra time to find a parking place!)
