Calendar reminders

Don't miss it! Our December educational retreat is this Sunday, Dec 19, at Juan and Marla Tovar's home. Lots of good food and fun are a given at these special gatherings. Gary Chiu has more details if you need them.

We will get back in the swing at our first 2011 meeting on Jan 4; there will be no meetings on Dec 21 or 28. The executive committee will meet on Jan 11 and the club business meeting is on Jan 18.

The winter training season continues on Jan 14 & 15 with Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TLI) at Texas Wesleyan University. The officer training sessions are a must for current officeholders, and if you are considering being an officer, this is a great chance to find out what's involved. You do not have to be already elected to attend any session you would like.

Another great TLI opportunity is judges training. If you would like to be a better evaluator, speaker, or contestant, this is very useful. Judging is fun — you go to other clubs, meet new people, and you are in demand — they are thrilled to see you!

Remember that you can see all upcoming club events by checking the calendar on the Members home page on the website. Clicking on an event will open a small window where you can read more details about it.
