News from Emily, our club Treasurer

It’s time for members to pay club dues for the October 2010 – April 2011 period. The total cost per member is $42, we’ll send $27 to the Toastmasters organization and we’ll keep $15 for the Twin City club. You can pay dues with cash or a personal check payable to “Twin City Toastmasters”. In order to avoid confusion, please only hand your funds to Emily W. (Treasurer) or John F. (President). Once the dues are paid to Toastmasters online, it will generate an email receipt that Emily will forward to you.

Moving forward, Emily will be the contact person between the club and the Leominster library regarding the use of the meeting room. You can expect that we’ll have a podium and whiteboard for meetings at the Leominster Library, but if you would like to use the library’s projector or other audio visual electronics please let both me and Bill B. (Sergeant at Arms) know a few days ahead of time. The library custodian sets up our meeting space in advance, but he leaves at 4pm on Tuesdays, so the electronics are not available at the last minute.

It's time to pay dues!

It's time to pay dues again! Two times a year all of our members pay dues. Here is a quick guide on how to pay and what we use the money for:

How to pay your dues:

• Due is $42.00 ($27.00 goes to Toastmasters International and $15.00 goes to the club)
• Make checks out to Twin City Toastmasters
• Give checks to Maggie or another club officer
• We can take cash, but not credit cards
• Receipts available if requested
• Dues is due on September 30th!
  

What do we do with your dues? What do you get out of paying?

• Toastmasters International sends you a monthly edition of the Toastmasters magazine.
• The club uses it to pay for supplies like photocopies, ribbons, trophies, name tags, clocks, etc.
  
• Being a current member (or a member in good standing) allows you to participate in speech contests
• When you complete your manuals you get certificates and more from Toastmasters International
