OLD BUSINESS
* Erin Gisell reminded everyone of the “Tall Tales” contest, coming to SCTM in June. A purpose of the contest is to use it as a recruiting tool. Speakers and role players (timer, vote counters, etc.) are needed.
* Barb Sapienza is nearly finished with the updated Speakers’ Bureau brochure. She’d like to see more SCTM members participate; please let her know if you’re interested.
NEW BUSINESS
* Kathy Denton recommended a memory card for the camcorder, for taking still pictures, so members don’t have to be reminded to bring their equipment to club meetings and SCTM is always ready for picture taking.
