10th July 2012, Meeting #251

10th July 2012 seems like a normal Tuesday for folks in town, but members of Money Mastery-KL Toastmasters Club would beg to defer.

It was the 251st meeting since the club's establishment, and stood as the first meeting of the Term 2012/2013, where the new club officers will run the show since elected.

We saw the new banner stood firmly in front of the entrance to meeting venue to welcome the guest. Thanks to CC, Kelvin Chong to make the effort in getting the banner prepared for the club.

6.30pm, members and guest started to coming in to the meeting hall, and  as usual, the voluntarism in the members urge them to arrange the meeting venue to order.

The meeting started at 7.02pm, with TM, Ron Yeap calling the meeting to order, leading the members to read the Toastmasters promises.

Next, we welcome the Club President of the new term, ACB, ALB, Ken Chan delivering his first presidential speech. Ken, who is also the new Area G1 Governor, urge the members to have R.I.S.E and C.A.R.E. in mind.

We have Division G Governor, Thiagarajah Nesan, ACS, ALB as our General Evaluator. We have our first new member (Sunny Low) who has also witnessed the meeting.

Our inspiring speakers, thank you for your speeches, your sharing. It gave me very strong drive that I am starting to prepare for my speeches on the advanced manual.So, all members, start to book your speaking slots and lets share your experience with the rest. We want to learn from each other.

Sook Meng, Julia, KL Loh and many others, we missed your presentations.

We are not celebrating member's birthday, we are celebrating our club's anniversary!
