Name tags for guests will be on sign-in table.
We will trim some of the activities from our normal club meeting to allow for the longer speaking time. We will keep the following roles:
President's welcome
Toastmaster
Table topics master/table topics
General evaluator (brief summary, mostly to introduce Ah counter/grammarian and timer)
Ah counter/grammarian
Timer
We debated whether to include an evaluator but decided that, in the interest of time, we'd skip it this time.
Room layout: Rows of chairs facing the lectern. No tables in back (to leave more room for visitors, etc.). A table will be used on the side for refreshments. Extra tables will be folded and put out in the hallway. If we are absolutely inundated with people, officers will stand. (Hope this won't be necessary.)
Kelly will put together the marketing materials and get back to us early next week with copy to review.
