Christmas Meeting at MAGE CAFE, Damansara Jaya


8 DEC 2011

Theme : A glittery Christmas



The President in his address suggested that every meeting day should be like Christmas where we rejoice ( Word of the day )  whenever we come to meetings to meet up with members and guests.
We rejoice when members complete their educational goals or take up leadership roles, or even when new members take up roles for the first time at meetings.
Total of 38 people including members and guests attended this meeting

The Toastmaster of the Evening was ACS Chan Siew Peng and Region 14 Marketing Advisor and Past District Governor  DTM Dr. Arul was the General Evaluator.



In his Invocation ACG Lee Wei Seong reminded us not to be concerned about the price of the gifts received but the gesture that will go a long way to touch someone’s life.

Vice President of Membership and Charter President DTM Tham Chee Wah conducted the Induction of new members. The new members present were Jacklyn Hoi, Calvin Cheah, Ernie Lui, Jeff Poon and Martin Hen.






Ernie Lui spoke brilliantly on “ Pursuit of Happiness “ and Chooi Kum Ying held us spelt bound on
 “ Taking Life Seriously ”.
 






 ACS Foong Weng Tuck took us on a nostalgic journey of his hometown Ipoh







 SK Khor gave an emotional ‘ Accepting an Award speech “ as the Volunteer of the year. In real life he actually won such an award in 2006.

ATMS Yip Wah Pung gave us his personal strategy on “ Planning for a Married Life “ which left us in stitches. He advised us that to get married we must plan for it to happen, just liked he did, every little step of the way. He bagged the Best Speaker ribbon, and his evaluator DTM Tham Chee Wah was voted the Best speech evaluator. Wonder if that was planned too.


Calvin Cheah and Jeff Poon took up the AH counter and Time Keeper roles respectively for the first time. Well done. ACS Ivan Ho was the grammarian and busy photographer.




Chooi Kum Ying won the Best Glittery Dressed Award.

The food and ambience at Mage was wonderful with a Christmas tree at the speaking area to complete the setting. In the spirit of Christmas there was an exchange of gifts.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone…..may you have peace, joy and love in your homes, always.
