Meeting on 23 March 2010

Dear Indrahanians, We had 5 guests who visited us during this meeting on 23 Mar 10. One of them was brand new to Toastmasters (Kevin's guest), and he wanted to know what we're all about.

Plus, we had the full attendance of our 4 DTMs from our club – Fong Ming, LeAnn, Dom & Dr Devi. Now how’s that for commitment & support from our veteran members?
