Induction of New Member

12 May 2009

The meeting started at 7.30p.m. The TME for this evening was Teresa Chan, ACS, CL. Although she has been out of action for sometime, she was able to play this role well.

The meeting started with Vice President Public Relations, Jade Lim, CC conducting the induction ceremony meant for three new members. However, only one new member, Khor Hong Yuan was inducted.

The Table Table Topic Master, Chin Kit Ping, CC has conducted this session with some topics of contest standard. Out of the 5 speakers, three topics were attempted by the guest who was present for the night. Two of the guest who attempted the topics was here for the first time and they really enjoy this session.

The first speech was an Ice Breaker Speech delivered by Khor Hong Yuan, TM with her speech title “A Snip in my life”. She shared with us on a part of her working life. Her first job evolved around the lab analyzing virus. In her speech she told us why she moved away from this job and entered the Sales front. As this is her maiden speech, she had delivered this speech with full of confidence.

The second speech was delivered by May Yong , TM with her speech title “My Japan Experience” She share with us about her trip to Japan with a group of “senior citizens”. She visited many places of interest such as Asakusa Canon Temple, oldest temple in Tokyo, giant Chrysanthemum flowers exhibition, Electronic district of Akihabara, shopping in Ginza, bullet train ride to Nikko, beautiful Toshogu Shrine in the autumn, and enjoying the bountiful authentic Japanese foods. We were looking forward to her adventure at Disneyland but too our dismay, it was not part of the itinerary. Why? I guest you know the answer.

Our General Evaluator, Murphy Lum, ACB, ALB too gave his two cents worth in his evaluation report. He was able to link some of the table topics into some meaningful sentences and also give us a very good and constructive feedback about the meeting.

Overall it was a fantastic meeting with world class Table Topics and world class General Evaluator.

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. When we went to the counter, we informed the officer about the matter and she handed us 2 forms for us to initial it. Then she obtained our Identification Card for verification. Just within 4 minutes, the officer handed us the remaining balance and told us that, the account was closed. It was a total contrast, if we compared with opening a bank account, where we had to fill few forms, go through few  verification  and approvals prior to opening an account. The entire process took almost 2.5hours compared to closure of account which lasted only for 5 minutes.     We often forget or never ponder on the  initiator  of the club and their sacrifice &  hard work  to charter the club and we just need a single sheet of paper to close a ...

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....
