Mid-Life Crisis? Who’s about to be 42?

 

We are!!  Our Club was born September 20, 1960 at the Jewish Center on College Avenue.  It was know as the Knights of Marian Toastmaster Club.  It was the child of the eastside council of the Knights of Columbus known then as the “Marian Council.”

 

Originally the club was closed with membership limited to members of the Knights of Columbus.  The club soon opened its doors to everyone and was one of the first clubs to admit ladies.  About 1969 the Knights of Marian Toastmasters Club combined with one of the North American Aviation Clubs and changed its name to the Whitehall Toastmasters.  Much later the name was amended to the Columbus-Whitehall Toastmasters!  Does anyone know Why?

 

Attend the next meeting, August 13th and find out!!

 
 

Club Business Cards: Get them while they are hot!  Did you see the map on the reverse side of the card!  Is that outstanding or what?  Be sure to send your info to Sherm Stevens, our VP of PR.  Sherm has sent Email to all members!  I have my cards, do you? 

 

TM3002 Club Directory 

Last month I sent out this year’s first Club Directory via Email!  The club directory did not contain Email addresses!!  This is because several members have Email on company servers.  In most cases, there isn’t a problem sending or getting Email, but the addresses can’t be published on an open Web site.

 

In my Email’s I asked member permission to include their Emails in this months update.  I have heard from only 5 members!! Until the club web site is fully up and running, Email is critical! 

 

If you haven’t responded, expect a reminder Email from me in the near future.    

 

 

Technical Problems

 

As I talked to several club members, it became clear that several members did not have Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel on their home computers and could not read the attachments!!! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

 

For better or worst, Microsoft Word/Works and Excel are the mainstay of all TM documents but never FEAR the Techkies are here!!!  We will be putting the Info Bytes on the club web site and the site will have hot stuff that any club member can read, update, and download.     

 

For the above reason, I am not able to publish the checklists as attachments for the Toastmaster of the Day and General Evaluator.  That will be soon.

 

Until the time we can go WebCentric, I have been assured that this Info Byte format can be read by ALL mail programs!!  Send me an Email if this is really messed up, especially those with Lotus Notes!!

 

Area Speech Contests

 
Our first 2002 Area Speech Contest is almost here!!
Hot News! The Area Speech Contest for Table Topics and Humors Speaking will be in September.  We don't know the exact dates but now is the time to start your planning if you want to compete.  We may have to have an extra meeting just for the contest, but we will do what we need to do!!!  More Info is on its Way!  Stay tuned!!
