12 March 2013 is a day to remember. Why is it so?

Our club members had made us proud, just 3 days ago before our meeting. It was Area G1 International Speech and Table Topics Contests on 9 March 2013. Our member, Mathew Philippose, CC was the double champions! He crowned the International Speech and Table Topics contests! Congratulations to Mathew!

Obviously, this is the day to remember. Our theme as well as the word of the day was thought and aligned with this great victory!

The Theme of the day for our meeting was: "The Day to Remember" and
the Word of the day was: "Victorious".

Our Assistant Sergeant At-Arms, Angel Law, TM called the meeting to order by introducing our house rules and leading the recital of "A Toastmaster's Promise".

Our president Ken Chan, ACG, ALB took over the control subsequently. He introduced the theme of the meeting as well as the word of the day. All members, respective role players and guests had also introduce themselves.

The Toastmaster of the evening, CP Lau, CC briefed on the theme of the day. He then subsequently briefed on the history of Toastmasters International and Money Mastery-KL Toastmasters Club. The benefits of being Toastmasters was also shared, hopefully the guests realized it and join our club to kick start the Toastmasters journey.

Our meeting moved on to the Table Topics session, which led by Mathew Philippose, CC. he has prepared a few topics for our members and guests to participate. Our members and guests had demonstrated a very good example by participating and improvise their speeches when topics were given to them.

The meeting progressed according to the agenda. It was the project speech presentations. The first speaker was Kyle Kuah, TM delivered his 9th speech of Competent Communication manual, Persuade with Power. His speech title was "Gambling".  In his speech, he persuaded the audience to quit gambling by showing a number of example of how harmful gambling can be to the families and careers. For an 18 year old student, Kyle had demonstrated his power of persuasive!

Our second speaker of the day was our sweet heart of the club, the always smiling Serena Kong, CC. She did not just smile this round, she tried to make us laugh with her humorous speech, from the Advanced Communication Manuals, The Humorously Speaking series, project #1, Warm Up Your Audience. Her speech title was "Are you in the Game?".

The 3rd speaker of the day was our president, Ken Chan, ACG, ALB. He delivered a speech from the Advanced Communication Manual, Speeches by Management Series, speech #1, The Briefing. His speech title was "SEX". Please do not be misled by the title of the speech. SEX means Service Excellence.
