Presiding Officer, Jennifer C began the meeting with club business. Holly Lincoln was called to the front of the room and Jen presented her with a one year TM anniversary gift. The club will try something new for the next few meetings, vote for the best Table Topics speech. Ramesh reminded us about the Fall Speech Contest which will be at Middlesex Community College on 9/26. Everyone is encouraged to do a prepared Humorous Speech, a Speech Evaluation, or fill any role open for the contest. Ramesh asked everyone to return their completed member profile sheets.
After the business, prepared speeches, and evaluation portion of the meeting completed, we broke up into 3 groups to discuss the Moments of Truth survey. Each group rated the club on the 2 categories they were given to discuss. Then we voted on the top.
