We welcome the Area A2 Governor, P. Andy, CC for the official visit our Club Meeting. We really appreciate his dedication to serve as the District Officer. Kudos Area Governor!
The SAA, Mark Anthony, CC called the meeting to start on time and he invited the President J. Kannan to deliver his opening address.
In President's opening address, he talked about "Success is a manifestation of thought and thoughts can become things. Therefore, everything that happened to me, I am responsible!" Wow, that was very philosophical and anyone who can spoke like that is definitely on his way to become a great motivational speaker!
The Toastmaster of the Evening, that is your truly, in accordance to the theme of the evening, "Laughter is the Best medicine"; he started the meeting by leading Toastmasters how to enjoy laughter by doing a few simple excercises.
Anyone can laugh without jokes, humor or comedy!
The Table Topicsmaster, Shegar, CC with his high energy personality conducted the Table Topics session with ease, his topics attracted fellow Toastmasters responded very quickly, I pondered why? (The secret: each fellow Toastmaster who spoke at the lactern received the brand new 2010 management diary from Shegar, who is the Group manager from the company with the tagline: 'life is great'!)
P/s. Word of the day was 'PONDER'
Everyone enjoyed the tea-break session because it was here that members and guests can 'mingled' around for better fellowship, this is the place we can expand our circle of friendship within the Toastmasters Club!
At the Prepared Speech session, we had 2 Prepared Speeches;
TM Tan Yu Min, the highly qualified accountant in the Club,whom presented her Project 7, entitled Corporate Fraud! Bosses, Beware! She cited the story of Balin Bank IN Singapore, 1995, in fact, how could the branch that were performing superbly well went bankrupt?Reason:Corporate Fraud!
The Second speaker who is another corporate high flyer presented the Motivational Speech in the Advance Communicator manual. Even his speech title chosen was a highly motivated one! His speech entitled: Breakingthrough the Glass Ceiling! He talked about goal setting and that "If your dream is not an impossible one, then it is not a dream..." Shouldn't we set the Impossible goals now for achieving a DTM?
Both speakers received the 'wows' from the floor! We love it!
Finally, as Toastmaster of the Evening, I felt very satisfied to receive feedback that the meeting was conducted interestingly and packed with positive energy!!
