Club Meeting of July 08, 2010

Thursday’s (July 08) assembly was our maiden meeting for the 2010-2011 term. What was perhaps remarkable about this meeting was that we had an equal number of members and guests turning up for this meeting. With a high attendance, it surely set the mood and quality of the meeting!

Nancy’s presidential address was a serious elocution that described her own personal story of her involvement as a Toastmaster: of the time she discovered Toastmasters, her enlivened engagement, the time she hit the hay, and finally her complete metamorphosis into an active and energetic Toastmaster.

TME Uncle Foong

The TME was the ever-effervescent Foong Weng Tuck, the Immediate Past President and he did a more than decent job of ensuring that we all enjoyed the meeting.

There were four speakers in total: Dinesh did his Ice-breaker from the CC manual; Victor Ong did his second CC speech “Please end my life!”; Lim Lay Kun doing her Advanced speech from the Special Occasions manual “Presenting the Award”; and finally Dennis Wee who did his HPL Part 1 speech. We did not have Table Topics this time around because we had our 101 Session by our own member, Joyce Hue who did a talk on “Hypnotherapy for Successful Goal Settings”. Overall, it was informative and instructive. Too bad there was no Q&A because she ran out of time.

It was a crammed meeting, given our rare time-overrun – but like all our previous meetings, it was still a delightful and genial meeting of sharing, learning and experiencing! That is enough for us to want to come back again for our next meeting!
