Unfortunately, I will be out of town and unable to attend, so can we reschedule? Would a conference call on Friday morning, say 9:30 or 10:30 or 11:00 be OK with you? Otherwise, we can meet next week. I also have a national speaking network call tomorrow that I won't be able to make. Can one of you sit in on this call for me? Please let me know.

We need to select our end of year awards: - Star Award - Newcomer Award - Event of the Year (a) Should we, as officers, select the recipients? (b) Or should we select "nominees," and let the club membership vote for the recipients? (c) Or some other method? ----------- 2. I intend to "poll" our membership via email regarding meeting participation. My end goal is to get more participation in meetings... I will ask such questions as: a) What would be the best day of week and time for us to have our meetings? b) What are your goals in Toastmasters, and how can we help you achieve them? What other questions should I ask our general membership and alumni???? Do you have any other suggestions??? -------------- 3. I have committed our club to operate the "Fishing Booth" at the Childrens Holiday party this year. I believe Kalla started this tradition, and the fishing booth is very popular with the kids. I believe the date of the childrens holiday party is Sunday, Dec 6, in the cafeteria space on the 9th floor at 1455 Market St. Decorating and set up will be on Sat. Dec 5. I need volunteers to spend a couple of hours on Saturday or Sunday for this event. It is fun and rewarding. Please let me know if you will be able to help out for an hour or two. (I will also be sending this message out to the entire club.) ----------- 4. We need to finalize our roster of officers for next year. So far, I have: co-presidents: Ian Crane & Randy Freeman VP PR: VP Ed: VP Membership: Treasurer: Nicholas Theuriet Secretary: Sgt at Arms (for 315 Montgomery): Susie Sanders-Wong Sgt at Arms (for 1455 Market St): As you can see I still have some empty spaces... Who would you recommend to fill these empty officer positions? ---------------- 4. We have an opportunity of a B of A Toastmasters club in Oakland joining our group at 1455 Market St. They are being relocated to 1455 Market St in Nov or Dec. I am thinking we should have a special welcome celebration for them - what do you think? I think we still have funds for a guest speaker - who would you like to have as a keynote speaker for an event like this? (I think we could consider this as our event of the year...) I still have to confirm a date. -------- 5. We also are coming to the end of the year and we need to make plans for an end-of-year/Holiday party/lunch for United We Speak. Please let me know your suggestions for time and place. --------------- 6. There will be a TBOA Knowledge Channel Broadcast on Dec 2, 8am to 9:30am. There will be a breakfast for any member who wants to attend and view the broadcast at 1455 Market St starting at 7:30am, and probably ending around 10:00. This is also a fun end of year celebration for TBOA, so try to attend if you can. ** RSVP's are required. ------------- If you have any other club business and/or comments on any of the above issues, please do "reply to all" so that we can all be part of the discussion. Let's try to wrap up any discussion and/ or decisions by Wednesday 10/27/04. Thank you all VERY MUCH for your support as officers in United We Speak!

My morale is pretty low right now - hearing from other Officers will be helpful to know that there is still life out there - Thanks, Ian -----Original Message----- From: unitedwespeakofficers-bounces@armory.com [mailto:unitedwespeakofficers-bounces@armory.com]On Behalf Of Freeman, Randy Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 11:44 AM To: unitedwespeakofficers@armory.com Subject: [Unitedwespeakofficers] Response Required! Dear Officers, I haven't received many comments or discussion on the issues below, which I sent last week. I think Ian is the only one who sent a response. Please let me know your opinions, especially on issues #1. #2, and #4 below. As for item #5, the date that works for the club that is relocating to 1455 Market is Dec 17, so I am thinking we should just have our end of year holiday celebration that day, and have a catered lunch here at 1455 Market St - what do you think of that idea? Dec 17 will then be our last UWS meeting of the year (and I will be on vacation for the rest of the year). What do you think??? Thanks, Randy -----Original Message----- From: unitedwespeakofficers-bounces@armory.com [mailto:unitedwespeakofficers-bounces@armory.com]On Behalf Of Freeman, Randy Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 1:54 PM To: unitedwespeakofficers@armory.com Subject: [Unitedwespeakofficers] UWS officer "meeting" via email Dear Fellow Officers - 1. We need to select our end of year awards: - Star Award - Newcomer Award - Event of the Year (a) Should we, as officers, select the recipients? (b) Or should we select "nominees," and let the club membership vote for the recipients? (c) Or some other method? ----------- 2. I intend to "poll" our membership via email regarding meeting participation. My end goal is to get more participation in meetings... I will ask such questions as: a) What would be the best day of week and time for us to have our meetings? b) What are your goals in Toastmasters, and how can we help you achieve them? What other questions should I ask our general membership and alumni???? Do you have any other suggestions??? -------------- 3. I have committed our club to operate the "Fishing Booth" at the Childrens Holiday party this year. I believe Kalla started this tradition, and the fishing booth is very popular with the kids. I believe the date of the childrens holiday party is Sunday, Dec 6, in the cafeteria space on the 9th floor at 1455 Market St. Decorating and set up will be on Sat. Dec 5. I need volunteers to spend a couple of hours on Saturday or Sunday for this event. It is fun and rewarding. Please let me know if you will be able to help out for an hour or two. (I will also be sending this message out to the entire club.) ----------- 4. We need to finalize our roster of officers for next year. So far, I have: co-presidents: Ian Crane & Randy Freeman VP PR: VP Ed: VP Membership: Treasurer: Nicholas Theuriet Secretary: Sgt at Arms (for 315 Montgomery): Susie Sanders-Wong Sgt at Arms (for 1455 Market St): As you can see I still have some empty spaces... Who would you recommend to fill these empty officer positions? ---------------- 4. We have an opportunity of a B of A Toastmasters club in Oakland joining our group at 1455 Market St. They are being relocated to 1455 Market St in Nov or Dec. I am thinking we should have a special welcome celebration for them - what do you think? I think we still have funds for a guest speaker - who would you like to have as a keynote speaker for an event like this? (I think we could consider this as our event of the year...) I still have to confirm a date. -------- 5. We also are coming to the end of the year and we need to make plans for an end-of-year/Holiday party/lunch for United We Speak. Please let me know your suggestions for time and place. --------------- 6. There will be a TBOA Knowledge Channel Broadcast on Dec 2, 8am to 9:30am. There will be a breakfast for any member who wants to attend and view the broadcast at 1455 Market St starting at 7:30am, and probably ending around 10:00. This is also a fun end of year celebration for TBOA, so try to attend if you can. ** RSVP's are required. ------------- If you have any other club business and/or comments on any of the above issues, please do "reply to all" so that we can all be part of the discussion. Let's try to wrap up any discussion and/ or decisions by Wednesday 10/27/04. Thank you all VERY MUCH for your support as officers in United We Speak!
