Club News:
Website for BET (http://www.betoastmasters.org/) hosting plan is up for renewal. Mark reviewed the renewal options and the membership voted on the best option for our club. The membership approved a 5-year renewal of the website hosting service.

Forest Hills United Methodist Church generously allows us to meet regularly in a church classroom, but our regular classroom will be occupied on June 24 due to Vacation Bible School, so we will be meeting in a different room at FHUMC.
