Committee Reports:
Carl Hendrickson reported that Education Committee met prior to this evening’s Toastmaster meeting. They discussed having a speech marathon on months where there are 5 Wednesdays with the marathon being on the last Wednesday of those months. The first month that has 5 Wednesdays is August.
There was some discussion on how the club has attempted to have these marathons in the past. They occurred once per month. The idea behind the speech marathons would be for members working on Advanced Communicator manuals where speeches are 10+ minutes.
The motion to hold the speech marathons was voted on and passed. More info to come.
Alan Kirby announced that he is the next contest chair. The contest will be held on the last Wednesday in August and it will be on humorous speeches and table topics. It was brought to the attention of the club that this would interfere with the speech marathon. Carl said that would be fine.
