Meeting on 26 January 2010

Dear Indrahanians,

It was the first time this term that our club had a joint-meeting with another club, WIM Toastmasters Club (TMC). We had quite a gathering of 'sibling' clubs together, sort of like a union of Toastmasters brothers & sisters.

The first thing I'd like to say is that WIM TMC must have many quality members. They had 7 members present vs our 12. Yet all the night's rewards went to WIM - Best Table Topic Speaker, Best Speaker & Best Evaluator. Kudos to WIM TMC.

You see, this is the great thing about having joint meetings - we learn how other clubs work & how other members excel. The best TT speaker spoke philosophically, yet was full of humour. The best speaker was a new member, yet conveyed a strong message in his speech with passion. The best evaluator gave very insightful & practical comments to help the speaker improve his speech.

From here we can all learn what it takes to be the "best" of the best:-)

Well on our side, we also tried to do our best. Yuan gave a humorous rendition as Humour Master. She's one enthusiastic member who always tries to do her best when given any role.

Wooi Hong made us doubly aware of how burnout works, whilst May brought us out on an outing to the Selangor Turf Club races.

Dr Devi gave immediate evaluations to the Table Topics speakers - quite a feat; a practice we should all learn to do. Fong MIng & Yeoh gave very valuable feedback to assignment speakers. Jade gamely took over the Timer's role at the last minute.

Thian Seng was TME and is now on the verge of becoming a CL - we can't wait!

Meanwhile, Dom & Alice came to give moral support & to enjoy themselves at the sidelines.

It was another night well-spent, especially in light of the new bonds forged between members of joint clubs. Thanks to all who helped make it enjoyable. We hope to have more such meetings of minds in the future.

May all great blessings come your way.

Kind rgds,

Kay Wong

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....
