1st Chapter Meeting

The new term started with a big turn out at the 1st chapter meeting.

It was an extraordinary evening; the meeting room was packed. Guests were practically ‘flowing’ in! Tm Andrew, Shegar CC and Michael Chu CC were kept busy arranging for more chairs. These are auspicious signs that we have grown from " Let's Grow" to the more action packed year of " We can do it!".

TM Andrew started the meeting with the Humor session. May be members had somehow got use to his jokes,there was a bit of struggle to make the audience laugh.

The brand new President presented his inaugural speech. He introduced the new EXCO members to the audience. He said he will lead the Club into another excellent year by having ‘changes’ and reaffirmed the Theme of the new term “We Can Do It”! He said there is no need to always subscribe to the saying " IT WAS ALWAYS DONE THIS WAY". He clearly demonstrated his style of Leadership!

TM Nadirah, despite being a new member to the Club, was able to discharge her duties as the Toastmaster of the Evening. Kudos to the Toastmaster Spirits in you.

This evening, we had 4 Prepared Speeches;

• TM Abiramy did her Ice Breaker,
  
• TM Jey Shin did his Project 3,
  
• TM Andrew was doing his project 7 "Research Your Topic". The title of his speech was “Why children told lies” .
  
• TM Ahmad of Malacca Toastmasters Club presented project 8 with the speech entitled “The Man with the Dream”.
  

TM Jey Shin was selected as the best Speaker for the evening. Don't "play play" with these young Toastmasters!

As usual. our Evaluators were supportive and gave positive feedbacks to the speakers! ATMB John Foo was selected as the best evaluater. DTM E T Lee said : " it is a challenge to speak at the same meeting with John Foo".

TM Saravanan, first timer as Language Evaluator, with his imposing physique convinced us to respect the English language.

A few Guests showed interest to join the Club. Vice president of membership.....you have work to do!
