Our Sergeant at Arms calls the meeting to order, followed by a presidential welcome and a joke to kick things off. You'll meet the Toastmaster of the Evening who runs the show, plus helpful roles like the Grammarian who introduces a fun "word of the day." As a guest, you have one job: sit back and enjoy.
