3. Ralph Lacerte demonstrated masterful skill as the General Evaluator this evening. 
4. Note on club style for guests: Table activity and traffic distractions are not disrespectful to the speakers; they are challenges to overcome.
5. Project voice. 
6. The next week's Toastmaster should review the next week's schedule with the members present at the end of the current meeting. 


NOTES: 
1. Club meeting moving to "Thymes on Hudson".
