Breakfast Time for the Officers. Paul, Mary, Chuck, Marvin, Barbara, Stephen and Roger attended.
Chuck reported that we now have a picture on our Flickr site (link is on the Blog, upper right corner).
Mary reports that Charles and Justin have Joined, David (visitor on Tuesday) wants an application and we have to check on John’s Transfer into the club.
Marvin reviewed the roster trying to determine who will renew and who won’t. Looking at President’s Distinguished Club competition, when Mary completes her CC in April we will have 9 points. There was a discussion about whether or not to push to get the tenth point (two more CCs) and we decided to let them happen or not as the speakers complete the manual. Marvin told us about the next election (May 2009) of Officers and we decided that it is time to begin getting the word out to the club that we are looking for volunteers for offices. In general, one year is the longest anyone should hold the same office without a break.
Barbara talked about her recruiting efforts and Chuck asked if we could target more women as we seem to have only men as visitors. There was a discussion about how to do this. Barbara will work on it.
Stephen reported that there were no expenses or income for February and that Dues are Due. In fact, he has about half of the club dues already collected.
Roger reports that the club cabinet locks at the meeting site were broken by the restaurant. He will attempt to fix it this week. There followed a discussion of how the room should be set up and an arrangement was agreed upon. We will all work to set this up and see how it works.
Craig was unable to join us to report o the web site, although it seems to be working well as that is where all of our new members find us.
There was a discussion of the wearing of name tags. All of the Officers will wear theirs next week and we’ll see how it goes.
There was a discussion of how we can get special recognition for Gene and his Speech Craft at UT-D. Marvin will work with the District Officers to see what can be done.
Continued discussion about the next round of Officer Elections. Since Andrew hasn’t been able to attend lately, we nominated Mike to be the point of contact for members to discuss becoming officers.
The meeting ended right on time. This seems to be a good place to meet (not withstanding that two officers forgot that we had moved the meeting).
