CLUB BUSINESS
- It was voted on by the members in attendance that Tom Snead will be the member from our Club to represent us in the upcoming Area 12 Evaluation Contest. The vote took place, due to Tom being the only one who was interested in competing.
We will have our Humorous Speech Contest on August 26th at Prudential. Tom and Sue are the two contestants. Please make sure to join us for our competition so we can support our contestants.
- A vote took place in regards to a permanent location for our meetings at the Midtown Business Centre Community Room. The vote was taken with the caveat that we take the next four months as a trial period to see how the new room works for the members and Club. By late October/early November we would revisit the matter and decide if we choose to move forward with the room in 2010.
REMINDER IT IS TIME FOR CLUB DUES – ALL MEMBERS PLEASE GET YOUR SEMI-ANNUAL CLUB DUES INTO CATALINA NOW! We look forward to everyone staying part of Top O’ The Rock, as we have some great opportunities ahead for our Club and all members. Please contact Catalina with any questions.
