As this is an auspicious (OXspicious) day, the entrance fee was made at RM 8.80 per pax (for non-member only) with "LOW SANG" (tossing raw fish) as to generate more prosperity. The meeting room was well decorated to reflect the theme "ONG".

Message from the Division Governor

Good day to all of you. T here was once myself and NJ Singam (past convention organizing Chair) went to one of the local bank to close the convention bank account.

February 2013 Board Meeting The 2012-2013 Board of Directors will meet February 22-23, 2013, in Southern California. The Board held its first in-person meeting after the convention in August. Since that time, the Board's committees have met virtually, focusing on topics that support the 2010 Strategic Plan. These virtual meetings have reduced the amount of time Board members need to spend at in-person meetings . This year's February Board meeting schedule has been reduced to two days. Following the completion of the meeting, the results of the discussions will be shared in writing on the Toastmasters International website instead of at a public board briefing or through streaming video. The meeting will be shorter and less expensive, however, the reporting will still be provided in a timely manner. Members can visit the Toastmasters International website to see the results of the Board meeting on February 25 and the ILC officer nomination results on February 23....
