Toastmasters' 90th Anniversary Celebration Meeting on 14th October 2014

On the last Tuesday, we have celebrate the Toastmasters' 90th Anniversary. For your information, Toastmasters International was established in 1924 ~



It was a fun and educative meeting! Toastmasters of the Evening, Yeoh Cheng Lim kick started the meeting by sharing with us the history and background of Toastmasters International. The highlight and the uniqueness of this meeting was we featured heavyweight role players to show case the strength and spirit of Indrahanians! From toastmasters of the evening, table topic evaluator, speech evaluators, table topic master, humour master, Ah ounter and timer, all roles were played by senior members such as Yeoh, Chrristine, LeAnn, Ho Fong Ming, KK Ng, Mustzah, Lim Thian Seng, Siew Peng, Alice Ong and Dr Devi (name listed in no particular order). We were honoured to have Past International President, John Lau to give us an invocation to inspire the members and guests during the meeting. There were a total of 9 past presidents of our club among our midst on that day! This is the spirit and support rendered by the seniors - the backbone of the club!  

Lakhmichand, MA, DTM or aka Lucky was the General Evaluator. Thank you Lucky for agreeing to be our general evaluator :) I have learned a lot from you through this meeting. You have shared valuable information to me on how to prepare a better agenda and access to TI for free manuals! Thank you!
