15th Anniversary Celebration

We celeberated our 15th Anniversary in style and like no other. We have District Officers, IPDG Low Yat Seow, DG Rep LGM Joseph Gomez, and some invited guests, PDVG Lakhmichand M A ATMG, PDVG Ramdas Nayar DTM, PD Pro K F Pyng, PAG James Arokiasamy,TM Sham Sunder Vikyomal from Bangsar, Jade Ling, Pauline, Cheah and The Mas Family children Lena, Mahathir and Liza.

The Past Presidents present were, Jeffrey, Larry, Thilo, Philip, Mike, Masdiana, K F Pyng and Mohamad. Anna Hue is still in Switzerland and have given her apologies whilst the rest were uncontactable. The members present were Shirene, Ho, Joyce, Laverne, Leong and Monsieur. I hope I have not omitted any one.

The meeting started with the usual President's Speech, followed by Invocation by Thilo. The TME was our AG, PP Mike Teng. After the normal start Mohamad took us down Memory Lane and gave us some history lessons. He also took time to present some shots of photographs in his possession. Later he invited all the PP to say a few words.

After all the Past Presidents have given their stories Mike introduced Leong to conduct the Humour Session and instead he roasted Mohamad. All went well and we had a special dinner organised by the Exco. No one can complain about MII food. Oh yes, before we actually break for dinner we got the cake cutting ceremony with wine popping session. Again I forget to tell you that they invited Mohamad and Masdiana as the founder together with Jeff the current President to unleash our new Banner after 15 years.

After dinner Mohamad was called in to conduct another session where he invited all the guests to give us their idea as to where MII TMC should be in 5 years time. Joseph, Lucky, Ramdas, James and Masdiana were invited and each of them share their experience and gave their recommendations to have Quality Meeting, Good Mentoring, Fun and Fellowship, Sharing and Quality Self.

Finally, we had Lucky Draw session of about 15 items and Mohamad and his family took 5 already and leave the rest to the others. However, Masdiana and Mohamad redonate their prizes for the others.

The meeting ended a little late but with a high note and I am sure MII TMC can go far.
