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 being accepted in May 2001! Past presidents' advisory ( Dan Abraham ): Meeting kept to schedule; Speakers should start and end their speeches at the lectern; Don't sugar-coat an evaluation - evaluations are meant to provide information for improvement. |
