because i wasn't leaving early enough for the torture chamber -- i will now have a key and associated duties...

1) Open doors of building by 7 am on wednesday morning and setup the hall for the meeting.

2) Please make sure that water is served, the evaluation sheets and agendas are distributed, name boards are kept on the table near the entrance for the people to pickup as they enter. Post the toastmasters signs on the doors to guide the guests to the meeting room and welcome them when they enter the room.

3) Call the meeting to order at 7.15am and introduce the chairman of the day in few sentences.

(spend 1 minute only; so you have to be very brief).

An example introduction would look something like the following. " I call this educational meeting to order. Welcome fellow toastmasters and guests. I am ______ your sergeant at arms". The theme of the day is ".......(A penny saved).." and to lead the today's meeting (select your wording about the chairman such as) we have a very enthusiastic toastmaster from our club, Please welcome .......X...... Chairman of the day."

4) Please ensure that the guests sign the guest book.

5) At the end of the meeting, please collect the trophies, and other stuff including marker pens etc. and lock it up in the box. Hope that this information is sufficient for you to get it started.
The combination to the lock is written on the back of the key chain.

Thanks again. Talk to you soon, B
