Officer Reports
Report from VPE Nancy:
· We have 6 goals completed for the DCP, because many members are completing levels. We have a good chance of being President’s Distinguished this year if we have 20 members on June 30,2022.
· Nancy reminded us to sign up for officer training.
· Nancy has published a new club calendar and reminded us of upcoming events, including officer training (December and January), our traditional White Elephant party in January, and the club’s speech contest in February.
Report from VPM Kate:
· We have had 4 inquiries about the club this month, and 2 of those people have been guests. We have had 5 guests in the last month, and we currently have 16 paid members. Kate is aware that one member (Nevin) may drop out when he starts classes.
· Kate will not continue as VPM beyond June 30, 2022. She will do a “Succession Plan” to ensure a smooth handover and to fulfill one of the requirements for Level 5 of her Path.
Report from VPPR Mara:
· We now have an active “Google My Business” account. Mara requested that we all review the site.
Report from SSA Lynne D:
· Lynne requested that Toastmasters add a step in the agenda, reminding the Zoom meeting host to start recording speeches and evaluations. That step will provide a smoother transition for everyone.
· Lynne and Mara continue looking for a location for us to have on-site meetings. No luck so far.
Report from Treasurer Jinxin:
· Jinxin is willing to continue as Treasurer, but she has had difficulty dealing with PayPal. After discussion, we decided to rename our PayPal account to Treasurer@gmail.com and Barb agreed to let PayPal use her email and social security number, because they already have this information for her personal PayPal account.
Report from President, Lynn C
· Lynn’s new job presents challenges for attending every meeting. We agreed that she can use a substitute to run the meeting if necessary. Ordinarily, the substitute would be Nancy. If Nancy is not available, another officer can substitute.
· We will have officer elections next week.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 1:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Katz, Secretary
