Marsh Mellow Toasters (Embarcadero Center 3, Suite 200) has agreed to host the contest. They are a relatively new club (3 years), and they are very excited about this opportunity to participate in an area event. We are allowed to send one contestant for each contest. I am trying to get a feel for who would like to participate. If there are many who would like to participate from this club, we will need to coordinate a club contest. If you would like to compete, please let me know ASAP. Also, area contests are a great way to get a picture of Toastmasters beyond just our club. If anyone would like to attend the area contest, please let me know, and mark your calendars.

Tom Drews, president of What Works! Communications will be giving a presentation on how to create a speech in 30 minutes or less. We will be serving food.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Message-ID: <1524E9A726FF004DAB60C6CAE30735E71FEC7B@ex2k.bankofamerica.com> Bob, it has been great being part of this group. I will definitely miss the you all that I have gotten to know. Being fellow Toastmasters I know our paths will cross again, maybe even in a competition!!! Since my relocation to Concord - I have been reviewing the different groups here and have decided to join the Argonauts which meet on Wednesdays at noon. The ironic part is that my Thursday lunch at United We Speak was usually a Turkey meal from the cafeteria, which I always associated with the speaking club. Guess what??? This cafeteria serves their Turkey lunch on Wednesdays!!! The tradition continues!!! Good luck to you all! Keep on speaking! mc -----Original Message----- From: Sipp, Bob Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 3:52 PM To: unitedwespeak@armory.com Subject: [Unitedwespeak] dues are coming due!

Your officers have discussed a new schedule which we think will work out better, but we need your approval. Here is the proposal: The proposal is that we meet the first and third Fridays of every month at 315 Montgomery and the second and fourth Fridays at 1455 Market, beginning with October. For the remainder of this month, we will meet Friday, October 19, at 1455 Market. The meeting for Thursday, October 25 is cancelled, partly due to the Western Region speaking competition being held in Las Vegas that week. The only exception to the new schedule is that the fourth week meeting in October will be held Thursday 10/23 rather than Friday 10/24, so that we can have a joint meeting with Eddie Lopez's club in Phoenix (see previous announcement). If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me or any of the other officers. We would like your vote (yes or no, preferably via email) by the end of September.

I like the one day of the week concept - Fridays - and the every other week concept. Hopefully it may help pull members in down here too as there are more meetings. See you at noon today with my speech. One nice thing I expect the group to be a little different, so this may be new to some people.
