Toastmaster for the
evening – Dasie Schulz
Opening:
Richard Naslund opened the meeting in
our temporary meeting space, then turned the gavel over to BET
President Mark Bayless.
Club News:
Pending confirmation, we are
anticipating that our next meeting (August 13, 2013) will be held in
our original meeting space – the Good News classroom of Forest
Hills UMC.
BET holds regular meetings on the 2nd
and 4th Tuesday of each month, and on months with a 5th
Tuesday, we have a non-traditional meeting format. Tonight's meeting
is a SPEECHATHON with five prepared speeches & evaluations on the
agenda, and no Table Topics, Word of the Day, or Joke.
The Toastmasters International Annual
Business Meeting will be held August 24th in Cincinnati,
Ohio. All clubs are invited to vote for international officers and
directors to the 2013-14 Board of Directors, as well as proposed
amendments to the constitution & bylaws. If no delegate from our
club will be attending, we can either designate any particular active
member to act as our proxy, or our district 63 governor Kristi
Coleman (or the next senior district officer in attendance).
