Fellow toastmasters and most welcome guests,

On June 6th, Hunter Toastmasters hosted a election for 7 offices for the upcoming year. Twenty five people came including two new guests. Welcome and thank you all for participating in such an exciting election. (The seven offices are: President, VP of Education, VP of Membership, VP of Public Relations, Secretary, Treasurer, and Sergent-at-Arms).

The meeting was started on time by the president of our club Al with a brief opening remark. He briefly explained a procedure of the election and then welcomed our Table Topic Master, Julian. Six people participated in table topic speech. (see below) It was a great opening of the election. Thanks Julian and the six participants!

After the impromptu speech, the lectern was given back to Al who led the whole election. In each position, along with people who are officially nominated, anyone could run from the floor. So we had unexpected competition in a few positions.
