Meeting On 13 October 2009

Hi Indrahanians,

I feel sorry for those of you members who missed our Deepavali Toastmasters meeting on 13 Oct.

Why? Well for one thing it was the Indian food we had. It was also the super-divine homemade choc chip cookies brought by Teresa’s guest, Audrey. They just melt in your mouth…I’m salivating still.

Then we also had members & guests dressing up for the occasion. We all got to wear the little Indian do on our “third eye” (sorry I forgot what it’s called!) We looked veritably like our Indian friends. In fact May looked like she’s married to an Indian husband.

Dr Devi was in her glorious saree & she started with an invocation regarding the light of Deepavali. My understanding of it is that this light symbolises the light that lights our path along our spiritual journey.

We had two ice breakers from two of our new members – they were so well done with such interesting insights into their lives, they deserve the standing ovation.

Our GE, Meyya, was a bundle of high energy and enthusiasm when conducting his role with his team of assistants. Since the theme was Deepavali, our Word of the Day was ‘light’. Teresa, as Grammarian, had so much business that night she went over her time limit!

And for the record, here’s a reminder to all members that for this term, there’s an ongoing “Most Improved Table Topics Speaker” ribbon to be given away after every quarter.

To refresh your memory, here’s how the “Most Improved Table Topics Speaker” award goes...

Every 3 months, the award of a ribbon is given away to one most improved speaker of TT
Eligible participants for the award must speak at least 3 times during the meetings held in that 3-month period
During these minimum of 3 TT speeches, winner should have shown improvement (monitored by myself as VPE)

And now the “Most Improved Table Topics Speaker” award goes to… (drum roll please!)……(scoll down)








ANAN, our newest member!

So, to all members, please go for it – we’re starting our next quarter award again from the next meeting onwards, for the next 3 months.

May all great blessings come your way.

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 ...

Updates from TI

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....
