We had a very memorable New Officer Installation Ceremony thanks to our Master of Ceremonies, Kim Gross. The New Club Officers are now installed and starting to take on their new responsibilities - let's be sure to give them all our support. We also had an exciting table topics session led by John Keeton using a debate format to challenge us on many social and political issues.

Welcome to our newest Toastmaster, Peter Hoag. We're looking forward to your Ice-Breaker Speech.

Our 1^st Summer Cookout is planned for June 28^th at Judy Safern’s house. We’ve planned other cookouts for July and August.

Our Central Toastmasters web site is now live: http://www.centraltoastmasters.org/

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 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
