I originally wanted to add a list of future meetings in the Meeting Notes, but I ran out of room - and I couldn't format the items on separate lines. So Steve, or one of the other admins, suggested that I create a new "Agenda Item" at the end of my agendas, which I call UPCOMING MEETINGS & EVENTS, in which to list the dates of upcoming club meetings, upcoming club events (Open Houses, Speech Contests, Parties, ....) as well as upcoming District events (conferences with sign-up links, area/division speech contests, ....). I bring this up because if one wanted to place your club street address on your agenda, or a meeting theme, one could do that by creating a new "Agenda Item" block at the beginning of the meeting.

Cool idea. I've created a similar unprinted block for meeting reminders (e.g., "if you're on Pathways, bring a printed eval for your evaluator"), which I may have learned about in these discussion forums. So, I'll have to try a printed block for those types of things. Thanks for the suggestion!

If the Club officer font was reduced a notch (say from 12 to 11) and the club officer names were also reduced a notch (say from 12 to 10), the club officers name and rank would fit on one line rather than wrap (pushing down all other fields in the left margin).

I like the new "Location can be found .... website URL" field (which is a smaller font), the Toastmasters URL field (which is a smaller font) as well as the Club Mission field (which because of the surplus space the last word wraps on the top of page 2).

I like to think these changes were the result of my suggestions (and sample of older agenda template) that I sent earlier this week in the Suggestion forum. A second BIG THANK YOU to Steve and the FTH admins for shepherding this agenda redesign.

Tony, thanks for your personal reply. (I see you are in District 30 too.)

I like your idea too. Tony! (I'll probably include the phrase as an unprintable box or in the Reminder when I send the latest agenda to all members 2 days before printing it.)
Since I'm also VPE again this year (and first-time Base Camp Manager only since February 2018), I've gotten in the habit of printing extra copies of Evaluation sheets for all Level 1 projects (Ice Breaker, Researching & Presenting, as well as the two for Evaluation & Feedback) because so many Pathways-enrolled members forget to bring theirs - or don't have a printer at home. I'll do same for Level 2 projects. (I keep them in a folder in a Yellow VPE box.) I haven't figured out yet how I can print copies of Evaluations for projects in other Paths that are not in my Presentation Mastery path. Any suggestions?
I also have been composing intros (including "objectives" as well as speaker name and speech title) for the Pathways projects too, since until in previous manuals there is no clear Objective statement that the Toastmasters can ask the Evaluator to read, unless the one in the Evaluation sheet is enough.
