The VPPR will contact the President (Linda Asbury) and request the information to access the 'rebranding webinar'. The VPPR will then distribute the access information to the rest of the officers so they can participate in the webinar.
The VPPR reported that we have booth #183 reserved for the San Mateo Business Expo. The VPPR will send out an e-mail to the club looking for volunteers to staff the booth. While the exact nature of the marketing collateral that we will use is in doubt because of the TI rebranding initiative, at this time we plan on providing three documents to attendees of the Expo that are interested in our club. The three documents are: A generic Toastmasters brochure from TI, the club specific brochure that we handed out last year and a Toastmasters application form. Like last year we plan to collect cards from interested parties, but unlike last year we will not hold a drawing for a free memebership, instead, we will award the free memebership to someone who learned about our club from the Expo, attended our meetings as a guest and then indicated interest in joining the club. It was agreed that the budget for candy to give away at the Expo would be $20 - $30.
Attending officer training as a group was discussed. Spencer Hatfield had attended a prior training session, but would be willing to attend training again. Unfortunately, there are currently no officer training sessions that are convenient for those on the mid-peninsula. We will wait and see if any more convenient training sessions are offered in August.
The VPPR presented information about several potential 'Group Projects' from TI. It was agreed that she would do further research on this topic and then we would bring it up to the club for discussion.
The VPE reminded all officers to not 'become EC victims' due to overwork. He strongly suggested that anyone feeling overloaded with work should ask for help. Following that advice himself he requested that someone else deal with the logistics for the Area Contest this Fall. The VPM agreed to take on this task.
The next Executive Committee meeting will be held on August 8, 2011
Officer Reports:
The Treasurer reported that deposit reciepts were temporarily being sent to Linda Asbury at the chamber. She contacted Borel Bank and seems to have corrected the problem.

Officer Reports:
The President reported that we have achieved 5 DCP goals and have 19 members with two membership applications accepted this evening. So we have become a Distinguished Club.
The Treasurer reported that she had not received the bank statements or check that we thought had been sent to her by Linda Asbury back in May. The President took it as an action item to contact Linda Asbury to see when the statements and check would be mailed.

The Treasurer reported that Toastmasters International (TI) now has acknowledged that Randy Lee and George Lee are current with their dues.

The VPPR agreed to monitor the changes that TI is making with their 'rebranding' initiative and inform us of any action the club needs to take in response to that initiative.
The following candidates were elected to the Executive Committee for the July to December term:
Linda Asbury - President
Randy Groover - VPE
Spencer Hatfield - VPM
Samya Boxberger-Oberoi - VPPR
Ruth Wadsworth - Secretary
Nancy Johnson - Treasurer
Wing T. Tsoi - Sgt. at Arms
The concept of an 'enhanced evaluation method' was discussed and adopted on a voluntary basis.
The Treasurer & the President discussed the problem where the telephone numbers of new members are being truncated when they are added to the TI website. The Treasurer and the President will continue to research this issue.
It was decided that the officers should attend Officer Training together (the Treasurer was exempted due to the fact that she would have to travel a long distance to attend the training). The club will provide compensation for the officers who attend training together if they decide to dine out after the training.

May 9, 2011 Executive Committee Meeting
Present at the meeting were: Nancy Johnson (Treasurer), Samya Boxberger-Oberoi (VPPR), Spencer Hatfield (Sgt. at Arms) and Randy Groover (President & Secretary).
Officer Reports:
The President reported that according to Toastmasters International (TI) we have obtained 4 DCP goals and have 17 members.
The Treasurer reported that we have not received the bank statements for February, March or April. The Treasurer also reported that we are still awaiting $42.00 from the chamber in reimbursements for the club dues for members who also belong to the chamber. The President took an action item to contact the chamber in an effort to resolve these two issues.
It was reported that we did no have enough Evaluator's Cheat Sheets. The Sgt. at Arms took an action item to print out about 25 Evaluator's Cheat Sheets.
Agenda Items:
The Treasurer reported that TI had Randy Lee & George Lee in 'Graced In' status indicating that they did not pay their dues. However, she knows that both Randy & George are current with their dues. The Treasurer took an action item to resolve this problem.
The Treasurer reported that the 990-N tax form had been successfully filed with the federal government.
The President reported that he talked with TI and was told that in order to file the 199-N with the State of California that a 'tax id number' would have to be issued by the state to TI. That hasn't happened yet. When TI gets the 'tax id number' from the state then TI will e-mail the 'tax id number' to the Treasurer and the President. Only at that point can the club attempt to file the 199-N for California.
The Sgt. at Arms explained an innovative idea for having everyone provide a written evaluation to featured speakers who would like more feedback than the feedback from just one evaluator. This method relies on the speaker printing several of the evaluation forms provided in their speech manual for the speech project they are working on and having the audience fill in the evaluation form and return it to the speaker. This extended form of evaluation is engaged in at the discretion of each speaker and aguments, but does not replace, the current evaluation method where a designated evaluator provides an oral and written evaluation of the speech.

Present at the meeting were: Nancy Johnson (Treasurer), Ruth Wadsworth (VPE & VPM), Samya Boxberger-Oberoi (VPPR), Spencer Hatfield (Sgt. at Arms) and Randy Groover (President & Secretary).
Officer Reports:
The President reported that we are 1 DCP goal and 3 members short of achiving Distinguished Club status. The Treasurer committed to e-mail the 2 members who haven't renewed to inquire if they will be renewing. If those members renew we will be 1 member short of the membership requirement for the Distinguished Club status. The Treasurer will e-mail the VPPR a list of former members. The VPPR will, at her discretion, contact former members to see if they want to rejoin the club. A long discussion took place on how to achieve the final DCP goal. The VPPR agreed to see how far away she was from the CL award. The President announced he was one speech away from receiving his AC.
The VPPR indicated that she would look into attending some of the San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce mixers.
The Treasurer indicated that some of the statements for prior months had not arrived, but given time, they probably would arrive.
The Secretary reported that the Blog was current with all past meeting minutes.
Agenda Items:
The President reported that he had begun working on the New Membership Application functionality for the website.
The Treasurer reported that all but 2 of the current members renewed their memberships in April. The Treasurer also reported that a new member joined this evening. The VPPR said she would send an e-mail to the 2 current members who haven't renewed (in addition to the e-mail the Treasurer said she would send).
The Treasurer reported that form 990-N for the federal government had been submitted. Form 199-N could not be submitted to the State of California because Toastmasters International has not yet provided us with the 'Entity ID Number' for our club. The President inquired of the Area Governor regarding how, when and who would receive the 'Entity ID Number'. The Area Governor was unable to supply any of that information.
It was agreed that greater oversight would be put on requests made by non-members for the time and resources of the club.
The next Executive Committee Meeting will be held on May 9, 2011

Officer Reports:

The Vice President of Education agreed to report the fact that she had obtained her ACB to Toastmasters International in order to document the achievement of our 4th DCP goal.
The Treasurer reported that she had not been reimbursed by the chamber for our October dues request. The President committed to talk with Linda Asbury at the chamber to address this issue.
The Treasurer reported that we had $2,227.61 in cash as of this date.
Agenda Items:
The meeting calendar for 2011 was approved.
It was agreed that the website should be modified to post our 2011 schedule.
It was agreed that the website should be modified to allow new members to submit their applications online.
The Treasurer agreed to write an explaination of how dues were calculated for posting on the website.
The President agreed to send the URL for the new calendar page of the website to the Vice President of Public Relations so she could put it on the flier that was developed for the last San Mateo County Expo. Once the update is made to the flier, the flier will be posted to the website.
The Vice President of Public Relations said that she will contact 'Ed' at the chamber to make the new flier available to him.
It was decided that the club would have a party on January 31st at 6:30 P. M. at the Macaroni Grill. The club would contribute $15.00 toward the cost of the party for each club member attending the party. Since Crystal Lee and Orla Lynagh are such integral parts of the club despite the fact that they are too young to be official members, the Executive Committee decided to contribute $15.00 for each of their expenses if they attended the party. The Treasurer agreed to coordinate the party logistics and the Vice President of Public Relations agreed to send out the invitations for the party.
The next Executive Committee Meeting will be held on March 14, 2011.
