CORRESPONDENCE & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Correspondence forwarded by Rich Ullrich, regarding the 2009 Fall Conference:
In Clayton, Missouri Friday November 20th &
Saturday November 21st.
As the registrations continue to pour in, I wanted to take a moment to let you know what is happening at the conference-
• Contest: There are 5 contestants for the Table Topics Contest on Friday night and 5 for the Humorous Speech Contests on Saturday night. The contestants are from all 5 Divisions in District 8. Your support is needed for each contestant. Suggested requirement: to laugh loudly and clap often…
• Baskets: there are 19 baskets committed for the silent auction. Various themes include ‘white elephant gifts’, ‘chocolate’, ‘games’ and ‘Missouri Wines’. Many thanks to the clubs who put their best into bringing us these wonderful donations
• Silent Auction: please bring your cash and/or check book. The baskets are a wonderful way of saying you care and can be given as a gift to someone special or how about a treat for yourself? The baskets will be at the bookstore location. Stop by to place your bid
• Educational Sessions: The educational sessions are the members choice. The selection for this conference were the top choices from the survey that was completed by members in District 8 as the educational sessions they would most likely attend. Put your vote to use and attend on November 21st
• Conference times: Friday Registration will open at 6:00 pm. The complete schedule of times will be posted on the District 8 website at http://dist8tm.org shortly
• Hospitality Room: after the contests on both Friday night and Saturday night, please join us in a little bit of socializing. This is a perfect opportunity to get to know Toastmasters around the district and maybe make a few new friends or get reacquainted with someone you haven’t seen in a while. The snacks and drinks are on us
• Roast: Don’t forget the roast of our Immediate Past District Governor Tony Gartner!! Come see what wonderful memories we have to share. If you’ve had the opportunity to get to know Tony, then you will have many wonderful memories as well
Thanks,
Kat Mokriakow

Received by secretary from Max Kaiser on 11/11, prior to the meeting:
SCTM member and US Air Force veteran Max Kaiser noted the upcoming charity benefit this coming SATURDAY evening (Nov. 13th) for the new FISHER HOUSE at Jefferson Barracks VA Hospital campus, whose proceeds will help fund construction of the new short-term veterans’ spousal and family residential facility at the Jefferson Barracks VA Hospital Complex. The gala starts at 5 p.m. at the Sheraton West Port Hotel, with free admission featuring hors d’oevres, music and games. (Parking is free).
Proceeds from the event will be used for the new FISHER HOUSE complex, which will offer spouses and family members of patients in both VA hospitals in St. Louis short-term lodging during the veteran/family member’s medical care. (Construction of the complex is now underway).
For more info, consult www.fisherhouseinstl.org on GOOGLE search engine.
Thanks, fellow Toastmasters, for honoring America’s veterans with your support of
the new FISHER HOUSE at JB.

SCHEDULING COMMITTEE:
FILL-IN COMMITTEE:
OLD BUSINESS:
NEW BUSINESS:
Motions were introduced regarding speaking-order and awards structure for the monthly speech marathons. The first motion was to have two groups of winners (before and after the break), with one group being experienced Toastmasters, and the other being less-experienced members. An amendment was added to the first motion for members to choose which group they wanted to be included in. Both the amemdment and this motion failed.
The second motion was to have 1st and 2nd place winners, and not to have separate groups. This motion passed.
During discussion on the two motions, Bill Collier mentioned that it is difficult and time-consuming to intersperse video-recorded speeches with non-recorded ones, and that we should try to make a point of scheduling video- recorded speeches at the beginning of the marathon so the camera-operator can finalize the disks during the later non-recorded speeches.
CORRESPONDENCE & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Please contact Carl Hendrickson if you are interested in assisting a public-speaking workshop for Cardinal Ritter Prep H.S.. The message received/forwarded by Carl Hendrickon to the secretary on 11/6/09 is as follows:
Carl,
I hope all is well with you. Since we last spoke, a few of our students
participated in the Youth Leadership Program facilitated by Albert Fields
and Jim Salih. It was a great experience for them. We still haven’t started
the Gavel Club yet but we hope, too. Unfortunately, speech class has been
dropped from our curriculum this year. May I interest your group in
conducting a public speaking workshop on Tuesday, December 15 @ 10:00 am?
The target market is college freshman. I am expecting at least 20 students.
Please let me know your availability.

Howard Brandt checked online regarding the Distinguished Club Plan in the T.I. website. He did not find any record of our progress. Later in the week, emails revealed that our governors have not submitted our progress details yet because they are constantly receiving corrections from other clubs in the area.
