Dues

If you plan to give a speech, make sure that you have paid your dues. Only those members who have paid their dues will be scheduled as Speakers or Participants.

New Location

We are looking for a new location for the Wednesday night meetings. Keep in mind that the club meeting is rooted to a restaurant/dinner theme. If you have any ideas, please contact Terry Londergan, President.

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 Worcester".

A round of contemporary topics followed our Humorous Speech Contest. The topics, too, were humorous...

SPECIAL NOTES:

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)
