When introduced by the Toastmaster, please state the following:
Greetings Mr./Madam Toastmaster, fellow Toastmasters, and guests.
As Timer, I will time the table topics speakers, formal speeches, and the evaluations.
I will also alert each speaker of the time they have left, using the green, yellow, and red cards, which denote specific times remaining.
Thank you Mr./Madam Toastmaster.
