This script follows the agenda laid out in[ Club Meeting Flow and Common Roles](https://toastmasters.vaibhavguptawho.com/club/meeting-flow). **You are encouraged to modify this basic script.**

1. "Rounds" are each instance when the TMOD takes the stage.
2. Replace all items in square brackets \[\_] with information relevant to your meeting.
3. Items with **\[x, y, z]** are **time suggestions** depending on whether your entire meeting is 60, 90, or 120 minutes. For example, if your meeting is 90 minutes long, use the **y** suggestion.
4. Be mindful of time. If the session is running late, opt to cut out sections with **\[x, y, z]** or other optional content. The TMOD's main task is to maintain session flow.
