1. You may have heard this in the announcements, in your English class, and/or at Debate Club itself, but we are having international debate coach Dena Tabyanian (Google her – she’s pretty cool) coming to the Riverside Library this Friday, June 7 after school. This is an excellent opportunity to learn all about debate and arguing straight from an expert. We highly encourage all of you to attend, as well as bring anyone you know who may be interested. This is not a chance to pass up; for simply an hour of your time on a Friday afternoon, you can learn tons of incredibly useful skills that you would normally have to pay to know. See you there!

2. As you know, the year is coming to an end, but we are currently working on figuring out Debate Club for next year. Part of this process is asking you for input directly. To do this, I have made a Google Form with some questions for you to answer. It can take anywhere between 30 seconds to 10 minutes to fill out – that all depends on how much criticisms you would like to provide. This is your chance to tell us what you want to change about Debate so that the team can be beneficial to everyone. The form is anonymous (we can only see your responses, not your name) so feel free to be as truthful and candid as possible. However, if you would still like to talk to Nighina or me directly, you are free to do so by contacting us directly. Please fill out the form as soon as you can. Here is the link to the form: https://forms.gle/viNE8H5AfDLCcykS9

3. We will have the last debate meeting on June 12. Even if you have not come to meetings in a while, I would love to see you all there.
