• NEW BUSINESS:
• Speechcraft is coming. Both Patrick and JD discussed what Speechcraft is and how we intend to go about carrying out for our club. Basically, it's a way to get new folks involved in our Toastmasters group - to share tips on speaking and to help newbies start speaking. Slated to start middle of February 2007. Marketing for the event is going to be headed by Patrick, with help from several members.
• Discussed voting on best speaker and best table topic. Should we include these "awards" in every one of our meetings? Idea was received well by most.
