New Business:
- David mentioned that candidates for new officers will be asked soon. Also the installation will be planned.
- Christi emphasized that members need to accept the responsibilities assigned.
- David L. moved that when a member asks for more than eight minutes, the Toastmaster of the day add the extra two minutes in the schedule. It would prevent spending the time discussing it with all the members. A discussion ensued but the motion was approved
- David H. mentioned that a motion was passed at the officers meeting last week and he presented it to the members. The motion reads:
“When assigned a role, a member’s responsibility is to perform that duty or find a replacement. If not, the first occurrence of the missed role, the member will be given a warning. The second one will automatically place the name of the member on the inactive list.”
The discussion was not conclusive and was tabled. Unfinished business.
