This meeting guide provides summary instructions on how to perform the roles assigned to participants in the South Bay Toastmasters meetings.

The words suggested for functionaries are just suggestions. Feel free to be creative within the intent of your role when explaining it, but PLEASE STAY WITHIN YOUR TIME LIMITS so the meeting can continue on time.

A note about applause: We applaud Tabletopics speakers, Formal speakers and Evaluators, both as they walk to the lectern (applaud until they reach the lectern or shake hands) and after they are finished speaking. However, in the interest of a timely meeting, when functionaries are introduced please hold your applause until the member has described his function.
