IMPORTANT NOTES – PLEASE READ ALL ITEMS BELOW:

The dues are due by October 1…Yes, it’s that time of year. At your convenience, please give check of $36 to John Keeton or Bill Dussault. Make it out to "Central Toastmasters".
Plans are underway to change our meeting location back to the Regency. Details will follow in future bulletins. The tentative changeover date is the first or second week in October.
We are planning to add a $5.00 charge for those whose bill for dinner is less than $5.00. This is to ensure that the proprietors receive the minimum of $100.00 from the club every time we have a meeting. The $5.00 will go in the treasury, and every time we fall short of $100.00, we will take money from the treasury to pay for it. Also, to ensure that tipping is adequate, we plan to have a gratuity attached to each bill of 20%.
The humorous speech contest will be held on September 19. If you want to be on the list for a humorous speech, contact George Hast at 508-798-6831. There will also be a Table Topics contest on this day.

The meeting of September 12 was cancelled as we could not obtain a room.

Members who are interested in speaking outside the club, please contact George Hast for more information about the "Speaker’s Bureau"

The toastmaster of the evening and the Sergeant of Arms are responsible for arranging the tables suitably for the meeting

It is a sign of courtesy to be quiet while a speaker is at the podium.

Proper dress for the dinner meeting is business casual at a minimum.

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!
