Okay, so there's not a monster truck rally this Thursday.  There's
something even more exciting -- the next meeting of a new Toastmasters
club in Durham.

Toastmasters is a non-profit educational organization.  Our goal is to
improve our public speaking skills by practicing and helping each other,
rather than by being critical and finding fault and thereby making nervous
people more nervous.  It's a good group.

The new club, Bull City Toastmasters, is on the verge of formally
chartering and becoming an official club.  To do so, we need to sign up
three more members, and we've got several guests expecting to come to the
meeting.  However, we'd like to give as many people as possible the
opportunity to be 'charter members' and so the word is going out that this
is it.

Memberships costs $30 for six months, plus a one-time fee of $16 for all
your manuals.  It's fully tax deductible since we are a bona fide
non-profit educational organization.

Where will we be meeting?  At Huey's Restaurant on Morreene Road in
Durham, just west of 15-501.  The meeting will start at 6:30, but we ask
that people arrive by 6:15 if they're not planning on eating, 6:00 if they
are.  Just ask for the group in the meeting room.

If you'd like further information or need better directions, please call
me at 682-8396 or email me at jfurr@acpub.duke.edu.
