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.
