All District 50 Club Presidents and Vice Presidents of Education are requested to attend the business meetings on Saturday as voting representatives of their clubs (there is no charge to attend these portions of the Conference). Particularly important is the business meeting on Saturday afternoon, where a quorum will be required to vote on District business.

CLUB NEWS RSA Toastmasters, #5082, has recently established a new meeting time. The club will begin meeting every other Thursday at 11:45 A.M.

Talk Of The Tower Toastmasters, #8952, has established the first Tuesday meeting of each month as a special meeting to showcase Toastmasters. The first portion of these special meetings consists of presenting highlights of the Toastmasters Organization overall. The second portion of these meetings contains a presentation from the Successful Club Series program. Guests and club members both find these meetings to be informative and interesting and the Successful Club Series presentations help club members to achieve their CL and AL designations.
