Party!
By Jim Brown
Our new officer Installation party will be on
June 27, from 2pm - 8pm at our house in Pine
Valley. Hopefully, I'll have the 1924 Ford Model
"T" running and be able to take
everybody for a ride in it. Failing that, we can
at least take pictures of everyone in front of
(or in) the car. For those who want to, we can
roll out the newer '55 Thunderbird (never mind
that it is only 43 years old), put the top down,
and take a spin around the valley. Maybe not as
much fun as the "T," but we Aztecans
can make fun out of anything we want, right?
Wear '20s clothing and have a ball!
It will be a potluck. How about following this
plan?
Last names that begin with A - C ; Dessert
D - M; Main dish
N - Z ; Salad
If you're famous for something or have a better
idea, let me know, or call Connie Bahner (party
chair) or her assistants, Patti O'Mara, Florence
Brown, Betsy Macias, Bea Briggs or Joan Johnson.
Thanks, and hope to see you there! I will have
maps made and distribute them at a meeting soon.*

BIG party!
Usually, International Toastmasters Conventions
are held at remote locations, far from San Diego.
(The 1999 convention will be held in Chicago,
Ill., the 2000 convention in Miami Beach,
Florida). Attending one of these events would
involve airfare, rental cars, etc, necessitating
a large outlay of cash. But this year is
different. The 1998 convention will be held in
Palm Desert, California, near Palm Springs. About
a three-hour drive from San Diego, it is "in
our own back yard," so to speak (no pun
intended).So I propose to you:
Lets go as a club! At the risk of exposing myself
(I never would) as a mathematical dunce to you
bunch of university level accountants, here is
what I figure it will cost, assuming that two
club members share a room at this first-class
resort, the Palm Desert Mariott. Of course, if
you take your spouse, the room will be $95 per
night. I have visited the Mariott, and it is
truly an outstanding resort. Several pools, good
restaurants, cocktail lounges, etc. There is a
golf course (at least one, I think) do you hear
me, Kris? I don't have all the details about the
hotel, but have visited it for breakfast, and it
is beautiful. I'll get particulars about the
hotel for the next issue of the Azteca Early
Bird.
Room: $47.50 (½ of $95).
Convention Registration for Saturday - $53.00
(you must buy this to go to the speech contest
Saturday night)
International Speech Contest - $18.
Total: $118.50 + incidental meals, etc.
$118.50 is a lot of money, but this may be the
only chance we have to go to one of these things,
and it would probably be a lot of fun. We could
car pool down on Friday morning, August 21(we'll
need an air-conditioned car or two), lay around
the pool (cool!) Party, kick back, and watch some
very good speakers, and, I'm sure, learn a lot in
the process. There are other events, as well,
such as the Rock & Roll disco night, at a
cost of $49 plus the $53 registration fee for
Friday (what?). Paying this also entitles you to
purchase tickets to the Club Leadership luncheon,
only open to Club leaders and
DTM's.
The April issue of Toastmaster magazine has
all the details, registration and reservation
forms, and the reservations must be in by July 1.
What do you think? Lets talk about it!

Elections coming up!
With the club officers term of office about to
end, give some serious thought to running for a
club office. Not only will you get leadership
experience within the club, it 's a chance to
repay the club for the skills you've learned thus
far in Toastmasters. Being an officer will bring
great personal rewards, and a real feeling of
accomplishment. |
