Meeting on 25 August 2009

Dear Indrahanians,

Our Toastmasters meeting last week was another week of learning from our members & guests.

We learned a little bit more about Fanny's childhood from her icebreaker. Shyly but confidently she read out her speech, which was a great starter point for her Toastmasters journey. I'm sure she'll be better & better as she moves along.

LeAnn shared with us something very personal to her - something that she rarely shares with others (so I'm sorry that many of you members missed out on it!). We wish her all the best on her spiritual journey.

I believe we are soon to have a couple more new members in our club - Sim is rejoining our fold; Durai's son, Anand, is likely to join in our next meeting (otherwise, we shall "blackmail" Durai!) FYI, Anand won the "Best Table Topic" ribbon that evening - great way to go for a beginner.

Wooi Hong tried out his first Humour Master role & was also awarded Half CC that evening. So do send him your congrats & encouragement.

Koon Kow also tried out his first Table Topic Evaluation, after so many years in Toastmasters. See, it's never too late to try out new things in your life.

Thanks to Yuan who agreed to take over the role of AH counter at the last minute - it was her first role in looking out for our ums & ahs.

Our GE was Loghan & he shared with us an important lesson - being a champion is all about discipline & hard work.

Ahem, our time management wasn't so good this time - we'll have to try harder next time!

But don't let that worry you. As long as we take something of value with us, it's time well spent.

So join us for the next meeting & those of you who haven't volunteered for a role, please do so.

See you on 8 Sept.

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....
