Members help set up the meeting room. The meetings begin at 10:00am with a short business session where we acknowledge guests and run through any housekeeping items. Parents are welcome to stay and watch throughout.

The meeting is then turned over to the “Master of Ceremonies” who acts as the master of ceremonies, in charge of introducing segments of the meeting and key participants.

During the “Impromptu” segment of the meeting, members and guests have the opportunity to think on their feet and answer impromptu questions within a 2-minute time limit. Guests have the option to pass.

Following Impromptus the speakers segment begins, during which the scheduled speakers make their presentations. Most of the speakers are giving specific types of speeches to complete requirements for level promotion.

During the final segment of the meeting, each speaker is evaluated by a fellow club member, following club guidelines for evaluation.

After each segment, club members cast votes for the winner of each segment -- Best Impromptu, Best Speaker, and Best Evaluator. At the end of the meeting, ribbons are awarded to the winners.
