Toastmasters Open House

[ndrosen]

Thursday’s USPTO Toastmasters meeting was an open house; members were encouraged to invite guests, and we had as special guests several high officials at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. I’m not naming names because, although I don’t think there’s anything that needs to be concealed here, I did not receive permission from those people to use their names in my weblog. Three special guests made brief speeches, and several regular Toastmasters members also spoke or participated.

Several people who attended as guests are interested in becoming members, and I’m involved as Treasurer, telling them just how much to pay, and how to fill out the membership form, and then paying Toastmasters International out of the money the club receives from its members.
