Youth Leadership Program 30.11.2012-1.12.2012



Our club’s theme for this term is 'Going Beyond Limits' and the club has indeed managed to successfully organised a worthy project, the Youth Leadership Program. Although Taman Indrahana Toastmasters Club has been around for 28 years, yet last November was the first time such a program was ever carried out. Many experienced members graciously volunteered their expertise by being mentors and facilitators during the two days in helping the participants to craft speeches as well as mustering up the courage to speak in front of a crowd. Below are some inspiring emails that we have received from some of the parents.  



Dear organisors,



Thanks for putting up your good work. My husband, Mr Lim was there.  He called to inform me that he couldn`t believe it was his son, Brandon that was speaking on the stage. Brandon is happy that he attended this camp despite he was not too happy to go initially.

Cheers.

Dear Jade,



Just a quick email to thank you and your whole YLP organising team for running the training program. Really appreciate your time and efforts in doing this. My children (although forced to go) enjoyed their time.



Thank you.


Regards,

Hi, 



I'm Preetika's mom, Priya. I would like to thank all of you for such great effort in organising the leadership program recently. It was really amazing to see the potential of young children with great courage stand out to speak on their favourite topics. Well done to the organisers!



Is it possible to purchase the CD since I missed her entire speech on Saturday and where can I get it. Please let me know as I'm eager to see my daughter's speech. Looking forward to your reply.



Thanks,

 Priya



It certainly is very encouraging to hear such lovely feedback from the parents and I am sure that these remarks are enough to fuel our members desire to organize another program the next term so that many other children will be able to have the opportunity to improve their self confidence and leadership skills.

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....
