Debbie Darbee held election of officers. There was no nomination for a Treasurer so Debbie asked for nominations from the floor. Thaine Shetter was nominated. There was one person for each position so the election was unanimous for the slate as it stood.

A new wooden gavel was purchased for WCTM club so we no longer need to borrow Lower Bucks TM’s gavel.
Dave presented ribbons to Richard Falconer to hang on our flag that said “Home of Division Governor.”
Dave presented gifts (mugs) to the members who helped take WCTM to Select Distinguished by earning Educational Awards

Each of the mugs had the phase Illegitimi non carborundum printed on them. This is a mock-Latin aphorism meaning “Don’t let the bastards grind you down”.
We are now adding themes to the agenda for each meeting to be decided upon by the Toastmaster for the day. We have the room until 9:00 pm so there is no need to rush through the meeting in order to leave by 8:30 pm.
