August 16, 2000

Attendance: 21 Members, 18 Guests

Our August cookout hosted by John Keeton and his wife, Trisha, was a great success! We enjoyed excellent music, food and drink. A variety of hors d'oeuvres, burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, macaroni salad, stuffed eggplant, and refreshments were served. John requested that each member introduce him/herself to two new people and to discover two interesting facts about each one, which was the basis for our Table Topics portion of the evening. Joe Mewhiney was the MC and some very interesting little-known facts about our guests and our members were revealed by our Table Topics participants. A prize drawing, with four winners, followed our Table Topics. We then retired inside to be treated to some extraordinary desserts. Layer cake, cheesecake, cookies and coffee, were served. A wonderful time was enjoyed by all!

We have some photos of the cookout on-line!

Anyone interested in being an MC for "First Night Worcester" may contact Stephanie Gibree at 869-6291. Stephanie is looking for a speaker to host programs and to introduce acts at "First Night".

SPECIAL NOTES:

Cookouts are planned for 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 Therese Delongchamp (VP of Education) if you want to get on the schedule for a role or speech. Therese’s home phone is 508-797-0974.

If you have an e-mail address (home or work) and are still receiving the Bulletin via regular mail please contact Stan Birdwell (stan@ibdev.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 (except for outings which will be announced in advance – please see the schedule above)
