EXECUTIVE SECTION

OFFICERS REPORT: Carrie announced the perfect attendees of August, 2013. Howard Brandt, James Bubash, Erin Gissel, Shreya Gopal, Patrick Hunter, Carol Lindewedel, Robert Osborn, Vanessa Ostler, Matt Ramshaw, Brent Stewart and Gina Willard.

Adam suggested people set up a gmail account instead of a yahoo account for their toastmasters emails because of the way turbobase sends the messages.  Because sbcglobal, ymail, and others that piggyback on yahoo limit recipient counts to less than 45, it chokes on our club email blasts.

COMMITTEE REPORT: None.

OLD BUSINESS: None.

NEW BUSINESS:

CORRESPONDENCE AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: Adam announced that Sept 7th is the Area 13 contest is this Saturday at 10 am. (Lets all go cheer him on!)

Brent reminded us about the magnificent 7 are performing again on Sept 21st and Sep 22nd which is a fundraiser. (I bet this will be fun!)

Matt Ramshaw and Erin Gissel will be representing SCTM at the Area 4 contest on October 5th at 10 am, please save the date for these two will be making history this year!

Many congratulations to Diane Fawcett for achieving the Competent Leadership Award.

BUSINESS MEETING END TIME: 7:09 pm
