AWESOME MEETING OF 162ND -25TH NOV. 2008

It was really an awesome and fantastic meeting that we had last night. There were 21 members turned up for the meeting plus 7 new members from Mechmar Bhd who made up of the speechcraft graduates that we had conducted over the weekend. So WELCOME to Julia, Sanjay, Sook Meng, Shiley, Soon, Yi Ling and Bay Tan to the Club. We also have as our guests Joseph and Shireen, Uncle Kasi (an old timer toastmaster from Penang), Jaleen and KM. Our AGW1, CC, CL Satchit Anantha was gracious in playing the role of General Evaluator. Altogether there were 34 attendants at the meeting last night. I believe this is the biggest turn out so far at our club meeting. Congratulations to all who made the meeting awesome and successful. All our guests were very happy and very impressed with the proceedings of the meeting.

We also welcome the presence of our newest member, Duncan to the club who took part in the Table Topic sessions conducted by Victor Wan. 5 speakers took the challenges to think and speak on their feet on topics that was quite tough given by Victor. But the speakers did their best especially Sook Meng and Duncan who are new to this session. Kudos to both of them.

The ASAA's role was taken by Aziz who perform his duty in his usual jovial manner and he always brings laughter to the audience whenever he had the chance to stand in front and speak, especially during the Table Topic session of which he was one of the participant. However congratulations to Paul Tan who won the Best Table Topic Speaker award.

The President, last night in his usual manner, gave us an inspiring opening message of "Lift People UP & Respect Them." which I had posted in the Blog. The President also played the role of Toastmaster of the Evening and it goes without saying that his manner of conducting the meeting was superb. The meeting went through with full of laughter and fun right to the end with the added humor of Hj Naburi and the GE Satchit who made everyone laugh right through the evaluation sessions.

The seasoned evaluators of Tan Ben Hoe, KL Loh and Francis did their speakers justice in giving fair and useful feedback to Calista, Erica and Cindy Foong. The three speakers gave inspiring speeches of their experiences either through Cyberspace, or the reality of selling experience or the trip to South Africa with its inclement weather. Calista's speech really touched everyone's heart and she was voted the best project speaker of the evening.

All in all it was a night full of fun and laughter whilst we help each other to improve our communication skills and true to the motto of Friends Helping Friends Succeed. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THE MEETING WORTH ATTENDING. KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU.
