Toastmaster for the evening – Chris Meador

Opening:
Marc Smith opened the meeting in our usual space, the Good News classroom of Forest Hills UMC, and led attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance. He then turned the gavel over to BET president Mark Bayless who read the mission of Toastmasters International.

Club News: The next meetings are Nov. 12 and 26. The club is planning a going away party for Andrew Payne after the meeting on Nov. 12 at Chili’s. Everyone is encouraged to attend.

The District 63 fall conference will be held in Monteagle on Nov. 1 and 2. A motion was approved to contribute $20 to support the hospitality suite at the conference. Irma, Dasie and Janet plan to attend.

Since this meeting is held on the fifth of the month, it will depart from our typical agenda and instead serve as a speech contest.
