Business Meeting (George Oehl presiding)

Beverly Farnell reviewed status of the Youth Leadership Program. Beverly announced that the program will launch on schedule. The first session will be held tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. with 20 or more participants expected. A meeting of the YLP Executive Committee will be held at 10:00 a.m. today, at the Mandarin Library, to finalize launch details

David J. Rafanowicz reviewed status of the club’s efforts to design and build a new lectern. David reported that he had visited the Lillian Bradley Toastmasters club to measure their custom-designed lectern, but found that the club’s lectern had been missing for a long time.

George Oehl recognized Jim Akers and David J. Rafanowicz for achieving First Place in the Area level Table Topics and International Speech contests. George encouraged all members of the Club to attend the Division level contest on Apil 26 to show support for Jim and David.

David J. Rafanowicz introduced a Written Motion to Amend, moving that a vote be taken at the next regularly scheduled Club meeting where a forum is present to change the Club’s name to Toast of Jax Toastmasters. The motion was duly seconded and further discussion tabled until prior to the actual vote.

Vice President Education & Training Felix Unger discussed efforts underway to enhance the forward scheduling process. Felix encouraged members to communicate objects and volunteer for future assignments.
