Crowne Plaza Moncton Downtown

Greater Moncton is the geographical hub of the Canadian Maritime provinces. It offers a variety of attractions for visitors. The Tidal Bore demonstrates the wonder of natural science and Magnetic Hill the power of illusion. Don't forget to visit Crystal Palace, Magnetic Hill Zoo and Magic Mountain for family fun.

If you head east from Moncton you'll soon find yourself in Alberty county, the home of the world famous Hopewell Rocks where you can see some of the highest tides in the world. Bring the family and enjoy our vibrant city with arts & entertainment, theatre, movies, shopping, dining and everything else that you'd expect for a getaway to the Maritimes.

Keep Your Eye on the Region VII Conference Web Site for updated information.

The Role of an Emcee ....

I saw this article about being an Emcee for a (presumably) large event and thought it contained some excellent insights that could be applied to Toastmasters, and in particular, district conferences.

It is also interesting to see how their comments / suggestions compare with Croix Sather's Emcee efforts at the last Fall conference. I think the ideas can also help at regular Toastmasters meetings or EC meetings as well.
