The club is off to a good start after our day time out. Two new members, Max Schultz, sponsored by Phil Griego, and Bernie Mille, sponsored by Jim Gunderson, will be installed as soon as their pins and certificates arrive. Ursula brought two great prospect to lunch two weeks ago, Jennifer Patrick and Bob Zimmerman, both clients of Ursula at the Athletic Club. Jennifer returned this week with a completed membership application and a $195 donation from her and her employer. Jennifer's membership will be discussed at our February 4, board meting. Rob Nuddleman brought Robert Greeley as a prospective member. We'd also like to welcome Josh Hall, Jerry's son, who is headed back to graduate school after his winter break.
Don't forget the prize for the member who brings in the most new members. Dinner for two at the Silicon Valley Capital Club, a truly fine dining experience. So far, the stats are as follows:
Speaking of members, Roger Brandon is back after a long leave of absence, and announced his desire to be restored too full membership status. Welcome back!

Your Duties as Captain of the Day
Every once in a while, we all need a little reminder of what responsibilities befall the Captain of the Day. In order to ensure our meetings run smoothly and are enjoyable for all, the Captain of the Day must step up to the task.
The Captain of the Day is responsible for obtaining a speaker for their day. If the Captain cannot locate a speaker, Ursula Joosten and Jerry Hall may be able to obtain back-up speakers. Be sure to check the schedule to see when you are scheduled to be Captain of the Day. You should obtain a speaker well in advance of your scheduled date and let Rob Nuddleman know the speaker's name so he can put it in the Exciter.
The Captain of the Day will introduce the speaker. Even if Jerry or Ursula obtain the speaker, the Captain should sit near the speaker at lunch, introduce him/herself and learn about the speaker. That way the Captain will be able to provide a nice introduction and will help the speaker feel invited and important.
The Captain of the Day should arrive early to the meeting because the Captain is responsible for handing out badges, welcoming guests, and selling raffle tickets before the meeting begins.
If you cannot fulfill your obligations as Captain, you are responsible for trading with another member and notifying Rob Nuddleman and Phil Griego about the change. That way Rob can modify the schedule in the Exciter and Phil will know who will introduce the speaker at the meeting.
The Captain's role is very important. The Captain ensures the meetings are filled with interesting content and helps guests and speakers feel welcome. It is also an opportunity to enhance your own public speaking skills. With everybody's cooperation, the Captain will lead the way to a better meeting.
