Toastmaster for the evening – Pankaj Soni


Opening:
Chris Meador opened the meeting and led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance, then turned the gavel over to the Toastmaster of the meeting, Pankaj Soni.

Meetings that fall on the fifth Tuesday of the month follow a non-traditional SPEECH-A-THON format, with 5 prepared speeches and no word of the day, opening joke, or Table Topics.

Club News:
Our next meeting on May 15 will be our normal format except we will have a special treat before the meeting – come early to enjoy a submarine sandwich dinner! The party sub will arrive around 6:00.

We are quickly approaching the end of term for our current club officers. Consider volunteering to serve as a club officer next term! The club will be nominating candidates in May and will announce the slate of new officers at the first meeting in June. Read more about the officer roles in the Club Leadership Handbook at http://www.toastmasters.org/clh.
