On June 14th the members of Gem City Forum elected our new officers for 2011 / 2012. The elections were conducted by our Past President, Lacey Crowe during the business portion of our meeting. So here they are!!

Front Row (L to R) Sec/Tres – Cindy Stringer ; VP Public Relations – Barbara Cook ;  President – Nancy Porter ;  VP Education – Judy Stepp  Back Row (L to R) Sergeant at Arms – John Becker ; VP Membership – Mike Kesselring .

A very special “Thank You and Congratulations” to our past officers who guided the club to a “President’s Distinguished Club” award for the past year, This is the highest award for all of Area 11 Toastmaster’s Clubs. An honor that we hope to repeat again in the coming year.

After the elections,  during that same meeting the club voted to change our weekly meeting location starting on July 5th to the newly renovated meeting room in the Fun Factory on 23/441. As you enter the Fun Factory Main Doors, turn left to get to the meeting room. We’re really looking forward to having a permanent home.

We also need to thank the staff at the Macon County Library for allowing us to use there meeting rooms for the past three years. We really appreciate your assistance and we hope that from time to time we will be welcomed back, should some major event cause an overflow at the Fun Factory.

This Tuesday night we have two awesome speakers lined up for our last meeting at the Library, so stop by at 5:30 and see what we’re all about!!
