Meeting #1 for Two Double O-Seven

We had a good crowd for this first meeting of the year with four guests. I was the TME of the evening and just bought a digital camera and love to play with it. So enjoy yourself with the pictures and sorry if I did not 'shoot' you last night.

Give me time, I will certainly shoot you one day. Looks like I cannot produce the pictures at this stage and will try later.

Presents yesterday were: President Jeffrey, VPE Shirene, VPM Kish, Sec Raja, Treasurer Joyce, SAA Leong, PP Masdiana, PP Anna, PP Mike, PP Thilo, IPP Larry, Adam, Levine, Richard with Guests, Jade, Aida, Carren and Leong. Have I left out anyone, yes, including Mohamad.

Anna gave a great KFC Invocation, Larry introduce us the word "Determination" and the theme was "007". Shirene led us in the Table Topics whilst Thilo did the Evaluation. 7 members spoke and the winner goes to Double O-One, Masdiana 001 (ooi).

The prepared speeches were rendered by Richard talking of "Go for the sky", Kish with "For better or for worst", Raja on his "Unforgettable Day" and Leong on "A Bad Day". The best speaker title goes to Leong Kok Wah.

The Evaluators for the speakers were, Pres Jeff, PP Thilo, PP Anna and Adam. The best evaluator vote goes to PP Anna.

We have also the Best role player for the night and the title goes to PP Masdiana whilst another lady member VPE Shirene took the Most Friendly Person title.

We also had our AGM and I will report this tomorrow. Bye for now rushing for another meeting.

Meeting #01/2007 - January 9, 2007

I have been given the task of being the Toastmaster for the Evening for our meeting on 9 Jan 2007 and before I realised the speaking roles have all been blocked. Good to know that there are so many members willing and wishing to do their speeches and the enthusiasm is really catching. If you really wish to block your slot, for the next meeting which will only be in February you have to do the booking quick.

Kish, Rajah, Mike and Leong have the limited 4 speaking slots and we have to turn down others. What the TME wishes is more members will come forward wishing to take up roles. And for this the Exco has agreed to give an Award for the best Role Player for each meeting. Even if you are a Aah Counter, you can still be voted as the Best Role Player for the evening if you do your job well.

Our Club wants to project an image as a Club 'for better fellowship'. The Exco wants everyone to know each other and build that friendship. Remember, "Friends helping friends succeed"?. Yes we want each member to bring in a friend to help them succeed too and Toastmasters International do award members who brings in 3 New Members each year. To make it better we have also another Award at each meeting and this will be for "Most Friendly Person". He or she can be a member or a guest where those present will vote and give him/her the honour. The more friends you bring in for the meeting the more votes you will get.

Meanwhile, enjoy the Christmas and New Year Holidays but remember, drink if you must, drive if you will but don't do both together.

MII Toastmasters 'for better fellowship' always.

Merry Christmast & Happy New Year

Hello Everyone

MII Toastmasters will not be meeting on the day after Christmas 'boxing day' ie 26 December 2006 and on behalf of the President and Exco members I wish you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We will meet again on the day after Elvis Pressley birthday 9 January 2007 at the same time, same place and better food as promised by our SAA Leong.

Bring your friends, family members and colleagues and start the new year with a Resolution to be a "better listener, better thinker and better speaker" at MII Toastmaster the place for "better fellowship".
