Every member of the Toastmasters must undergo the Basic Communication and Leadership Manual which is given free when they pay their subscription. In this Manual there are 10 Projects and the member has to attempt one at a time.
The Evaluation Guides which has been reproduced here was the work of our current VPE Sherine Lim. She must have taken lots of her precious time to complete this exercise.
Our Objective of publishing this Guides are merely for the Evaluators who may no longer have their C&L Manual with them to read the objectives of the Evaluation. In this way Evaluators will be able to focus on their evaluation better.
Thanks again to Sherine for the wonderful efforts.

THE PERFECT FRIEND
Today I found a friend who knew everything I felt
She knew my weakness and the problems I've been dealth.
She understood my wonders and listened to my dreams
She listened to how I felt about life and love and knew what it all means.
Not once did she interrupt me or tell me I was wrong
She understood what I was going through and promised she'd stay long.
I reached out to this friend, to show her that I care
To pull her close and let her know how much I need her there.
I went to hold her hand to pull her a bit nearer
and I realised this perfect friend I found
was nothing but a Mirror.

Meeting on 13 March 2007 - "Friendship"
I am glad to say that we continue to have another Excellent meeting with 100% attendance from Role Players. Well done Role Players - you kept your promise.
A total of 18 people were at the meeting including 1 visiting Toastmaster DTM Ramdas Nayar, one guest brought in my Anna Ms Siew Foong and 16 loyal members.
It was a great night with lots of gifts from Kish and some kind members. Kish who was our Table Topics Master came just to carry out her role and have to rush home after the break just to take care of her family members who are sick. Thank you Kish for a good session and also for keeping your promise.
Our TME Anna Hue, as usual handled the meeting very well and also brought her school mate to come. Thank you Anna for sharing TM to others. Masdiana had researched and selected one appropriate poem and presented the Invocation based on the Theme which was well received by all. Philip the Table Topics Evaluator as usual with his smile gave some positive feedback to the speakers.
The table topics speakers for the night were:
1. Dr Gem on "A friend in need is a friend in deed."
2. Masdiana on "One loyal friend is worth more than 10,000 relatives."
3. Levine on "Slower to change friends than your thinking."
4. Mohamad on "The only unsinkable ship is Friendship."
5. Siew Foong on "To have a friend be a friend."

The highlight of the meeting was the induction of Dr Gan Eng Meng (GEM) introduced by Anna. She seems so excited and we were all happy to see such an enthusiastic and happy person to be in our midst. We welcome you Dr GEM. The Induction ceremony was performed perfectly by our VPE Sherine Lim. I never saw anyone conducting an Induction anywhere near her for the past 26 years. Great to have you Sherine at the helm.

2. Raja on "Who is my best friend?" evaluated by Leong Kok Wah
3. Levine on "True Beauty" evaluated by Mohamad
4. Monsieur on "an Unforgettable Experience" evaluated by Janice.
The other role players for the night were:
1. DTM Ramdas Nayar (VTM) as General Evaluator
2. Dr GEM as Grammarian
3. VPPR Ho as Timer
4. Humourous Adam as Ah's counter
As usual at the end of the meeting Acting President Sherine invited Guest Siew Foong to say a few words.
Just before we close, Masdiana read another poem on Friendship to inspire those present. I hope I am not sounding like blowing my trumpet to say that the Invocation I introduce over 20 years ago has been made a part of our District tradition and now I like to introduce that before we close our meeting we must also say a few words to the members before we part.
I wish the Exco will consider that we create a new Role which must be done by one of the Past Presidents (to give importance to it) to read an encouraging Poem before we part. I would also like to suggest that PP will also say something before we part and that something should be the same all the time which means that the PP have to memorise it or read it.

A total of 18 people were at the meeting including 1 visiting Toastmaster DTM Ramdas Nayar, one guest brought in my Anna Ms Siew Foong and 16 loyal members.
It was a great night with lots of gifts from Kish and some kind members. Kish who was our Table Topics Master came just to carry out her role and have to rush home after the break just to take care of her family members who are sick. Thank you Kish for a good session and also for keeping your promise.
Our TME Anna Hue, as usual handled the meeting very well and also brought her school mate to come. Thank you Anna for sharing TM to others. Masdiana had researched and selected one appropriate poem and presented the Invocation based on the Theme which was well received by all. Philip the Table Topics Evaluator as usual with his smile gave some positive feedback to the speakers.
The table topics speakers for the night were:
1. Dr Gem on "A friend in need is a friend in deed."
2. Masdiana on "One loyal friend is worth more than 10,000 relatives."
3. Levine on "Slower to change friends than your thinking."
4. Mohamad on "The only unsinkable ship is Friendship."
5. Siew Foong on "To have a friend be a friend."
6. Adam on "A mirror is an old friend."
The highlight of the meeting was the induction of Dr Gan Eng Meng (GEM) introduced by Anna. She seems so excited and we were all happy to see such an enthusiastic and happy person to be in our midst. We welcome you Dr GEM. The Induction ceremony was performed perfectly by our VPE Sherine Lim. I never saw anyone conducting an Induction anywhere near her for the past 26 years. Great to have you Sherine at the helm.
