Is your fear of speaking in public holding you back from your full potential?
Is speaking stressful for you?
Do you wish you could stop worrying about your next presentation at work or in a class?

You're invited to visit a Los Chismosos Toastmasters club meeting, as our guest!

You will learn-by-doing, in a supportive and positive club setting that meets each Thursday on Zoom. The new "Pathways" program from Toastmasters International is designed to provide you with a safe, step-by-step way to learn public speaking skills.

You are free to select a "Pathways" track that most benefits you and aligns with your needs and interests.

When you join Toastmasters, you can stop worrying about your next presentation and get immediate feedback from experienced speakers. You'll discover a positive and supportive group, willing to help you take your first steps toward speaking with confidence.

You will benefit from Toastmasters by learning to:

--Find an immediate connection with your audience;
--Organize your thoughts logically for clarity;
--Energize your speaking with storytelling;
--Find your voice and your unique style to convey your best ideas.

Founded in 1984, Los Chismosos Toastmasters' membership includes faculty, graduate students, and staff at New Mexico State University as well as people in the business community, retirees, and those new to the area.

These classes are for those people who can be helped with extending a healthy diet using common pantry items. Also learning from each other.

Dr. William S. Kiser, professor of history and department chair at Texas A&M University-San Antonio, will present “The Business of Killing Indians: Scalp Warfare in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands.” The talk is part of the NMSU Library Archives and Special Collections department’s Borderland History Lectures.

In the mid-19th Century, the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora implemented bounty systems to monetize the killing and scalping of Apache people as a strategy for conquest. Civilians contracted with local governments to carry out a series of massacres that yielded windfall profits for the perpetrators. These events in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands reflected a broader 300-year trend across North America, wherein civilians were encouraged to kill Indigenous people through lucrative scalp bounties.

Kiser’s most recent book “The Business of Killing Indians: Scalp Warfare and the Violent Conquest of North America” was published in 2025 by Yale University Press.

Join us for the College of ACES Grand Dedication of our New Student Learning Center.

There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony featuring: Equestrian team, Livestock Judging Team and the Escaramuzas "Las Zapatistas de Nuevo Mexico".
