Recurring meetings

A series makes the club’s meetings about 12 weeks ahead, and keeps them coming. Change one meeting on its own and the series leaves it be; change the series and only meetings nobody has changed or taken a role in follow.

No recurring meetings yet.

Guests and membership

Guests are always welcome: come to any meeting, RSVP from the calendar or the guest bench, and try a short role when you’re ready.

Joining the club in this room puts you on its roster and turns on its emails: open roles, the meeting notice, your role pack and the agenda. Your account is the same one you use in the town.

Toastmasters membership dues are handled by the Treasurer for now.
