Welcome to novice folk joining the team and to our returning members! Tonight is the night. We will meet in Room 316 in the EHS @ 6:00PM. This will last about one hour. You will be introduced to the new coaching staff and try out a few of the events.

The evening will start in a group meeting and then we will break into small groups where you will be able to try a few events and let us know your thoughts!
REMEMBER: if you are a debater we will schedule a different time for you! Please just let us know through email - speech.edina@gmail.com

Barnes and Nobel Fundraising Opportunity!
We are looking to have students perform speeches and modified debates from 6-8 PM on this day. This will feel like the talk-a-thon in the way that we present our speeches. People who identify themselves as associated with Edina Speech and Debate and purchase books will have 20% of the proceeds go to our organization. We need to promote the event and have students sign up.
Here is a link for those willing to volunteer!

Notes
- Nobody leaves until the building is cleaned. As soon as you are done debating/speaking, you need to report to room 324 to be assigned clean-up jobs. With a team our size, we should be able to having building more or less done by the time awards begin.
- We expect you to attend awards.
- Do we want to win things? Absolutely! But we also take the extra steps expected of hosts. For example, if you see people looking for rooms, you need to take time to graciously help our guests. ("Never trashy, always classy.") We also need you to look out for well-being of our classrooms.
- We will post the full roster soon, but you should expect to be debating or speaking.
- I need 6-8 volunteers to help with setup on Friday night. We'll start at 4 and finish when we have the building ready for competition. We'll provide dinner when we're done. BUT...I only want helpers who ask, "What can I do next?" Student volunteers sign up here.
- Then I need Adi, Arvind, Connie, Leah, and Samantha to be my extra-help helpers on Saturday, making one final sweep of building to make sure everything is clean.
