Notes

- Ellery, the Wizard of Ahs, introduced an interesting group designation in the agenda. Namely, they were: The "Bang", the "Noise, Light and Smoke", the "Colored Flames and Sparks", the "Pyrotechnics", and the "Floating Materials in the Air" groups.
- Malini inspired the audience with her 10th speech. She is now a CC. She went overtime and thus did not qualify, but the equation "E(vent)+R(esponse)=O(utcome)" was indelibly seared in everyone's mind.
- Welcome new member, Georgia.
- Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contests will be held on 7/26. Sign up before Cathy volunteers you.
- We have a master grill chef among us. Our social chairs will be tapping into Hamid's talent when we have a picnic. The venue is already set - W.D. Thompson Park (1760 Mason Mill Road, Decatur, GA 30033)
