IMPORTANT NOTES – PLEASE READ ALL ITEMS BELOW:

  1. Time’s running out !! The dues are due by October 1. If you haven’t already, please give a check of $36 to John Keeton (508-842-1786) or Bill Dussault (508-756-5416). Make it out to "Central Toastmasters".
  2. Starting with the next meeting (October 3 ) we will be meeting at the Regency Suite. Directions to the new location are at the end of the bulletin.
  3. At the Regency, 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%.
  4. Best of luck to Helen Valinski and Max Zormello who are moving out of the area. We will miss you, and we learned from you.
