Club Business and Announcements
Within the next 6-8 weeks, the Brentwood Evening Toastmasters club will be electing officers for the upcoming term July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This is a fantastic opportunity for members to contribute to the health and growth of the club while developing valuable leadership skills and experiences. The commitment can be as small as a few hours of additional work per month, or as much as you want to put into (and get out of) it! Members of ALL experience levels are encouraged to accept a nomination for an officer role. For more information, read about the officer roles in the handbook (available here -- please note the PDF can be downloaded for free) or simply ask one of the club officers at the next club. We would be happy to tell you about the roles.
All are welcome to attend a special storytelling training program on Saturday, May 30, 5:00-8:00 pm sponsored by the Deipnosophist Toastmasters. Expect a very entertaining as well as informative evening featuring several notable speakers demonstrating various types of storytelling. Although there is no registration fee, this event will be held at the Hermitage House Smorgasbord and the restaurant expects attendees to purchase either supper or a dessert and drink. Supper is at 5:00 and the program begins at 6:00. Please RSVP no later than May 25, or request information about the event, by contacting John Patton. Reply to this post for his contact information.
