This will be a planning meeting, including setting up some speech goals - and that includes me. In other words, an extended table-topics session, on the topic of Toastmasters. Our TM Area Governor, Lisa Beard, should be there to help us in this process. This year, Randy and I are going to co-chair the club, with me presiding over 'Eastern' meeting (315 Montgomery, 2nd and 4th Fridays), and Randy presiding over 'Western' meetings (1455 Market, 1st and 3rd Fridays). Anyway, that is my current understanding! I look forward to seeing you on Friday. - Ian Ian Crane VP, Consultant - Applications Programming PIMS Production Support Enterprise Credit Technology 415-953-3834 From Randy.Freeman at bankofamerica.com Thu Jan 20 11:21:18 2005 From: Randy.Freeman at bankofamerica.com (Freeman, Randy) Date: Thu Jan 20 11:21:37 2005 Subject: [Unitedwespeak] MEETING Message-ID: <487D30B33DF2354E95B03A5B9D8BD213052AF6C5@ex2k.bankofamerica.com> Dear Fellow Toastmasters, We will have our regular meeting tomorrow.

Dennis gave a "Soft Sales Pitch" titled "Let's Talk About Canada" and Bob gave an informative speech about digital cameras, and what to look for when you buy one. The Dennis led Table Topics so we all had the opportunity to talk about Canada. We will be meeting next Friday, Feb 4, at 12 noon in the Lobby Conference Room at 1455 Market St - Sign up for a role TODAY! The Area Speech Contest is coming up and we need to determine who will represent United We Speak at the Area Contest. We will hold a club contest and I would like to find out who is interested in competing. This is a real growth opportunity. There are two types of contests: 1) International Speech - This is a 5 to 7 minute speech on a topic of your choice; typically an inspirational type of speech. 2) Table Topics - This is a new contest type for us. It requires no preparation since the topic will be presented and then you will speak extemporaneously for 1 to 2 minutes. This is open to Toastmasters of all levels. If you are interested in competing with either an International Speech or Table Topics, please let me know. If you have any questions, please call me. Have a Great Weekend, Randy
