SPECIAL NOTES:

The 1^st summer cookout is being planned for June 28^th @ Judy Safern's house. There will be cookouts also in July, August, and maybe September. These are a lot of fun and only cost $5 each for the food.

A reminder to please buy a meal and/or drink at the meetings to help our club maintain the room availability.

Please make every effort to notify the Toastmaster of the evening well in advance if you are unable to fulfill your assigned role – it’s common courtesy and a sign of a Competent Toastmaster.

Notice to all Club Officers, please have a speech ready at all times so we can replace any no shows. This is a good practice for all Toastmasters as well – BE PREPARED!

Be sure to contact Terry Londergan (VP of Education) if you want to get on the schedule for a role or speech. Terry’s home phone is 508-885-5526.

If you have an e-mail address (home or work) and are still receiving the Bulletin via regular mail please contact Wayne DuPont (wayne.dupont@compaq.com) so we can add you to our e-mail distribution.

As always we meet at the Regency Suites on Southbridge Street in Worcester every Wednesday from 7:00 – 9:00 PM
