We meet every Wednesday from 7-9pm at the Thyme's Square Restaurant, 455 Pleasant Street, Worcester, MA.
We are forming a "Speakers Bureau" for members who are interested in speaking outside the club. Contact George Hast for more information. The Toastmaster of the evening and the Sergeant of Arms are responsible for arranging the tables suitably for the meeting. Club office elections are coming up soon. Nominations for offices are currently being accepted! Past President's Advisory (George Hast): Time must be managed better. Too much is left to the president to handle. Officers and members should make a proactive effort to ensure that the meeting goes smoothly and on schedule. Volunteer for whatever task may be needed; don't wait to be asked |
