It has been a
great year for the SUTM family. 17th November marked the end of our
toastmasters meetings for the year 2016. Bravo to the skilful and humorous TME,
Thashaa who managed to energize us all with her wit and brilliance in executing
the task at hand (Believe it or not, it was her first time as the TME!). The
theme for the night was ‘Take a Hike’ but fortunately, no one took a hike literally
(haha) .The GE for this meeting was our very own Area Director, Uncle Jeff! And
oh, we also had the pleasure of meeting a very special guest that night-Danny’s
mother!
Due to the high demand for speaking slots, our
VPE, Ethan opened up 5 speech slots for the last meeting instead of the usual
4. We had two ice breaker speakers, Goh Kar Yan and Ng Swee Lyn who decided to
come out of their comfort zone and begin their journey in public speaking. The
other speakers on this night include Lee Yuan Hui, with her CC #2 , Anna Maria
with her CC #4 and last but not least, Mohd Ali with his CC #8. Congratulations
to them for taking the next step in their endeavour in public speaking.
As always, our
meeting that night too ended with a sense of fun and further strengthened the
bond between us. Together, we wait with eagerness for the new
year to see the possibilities of Toastmasters Pathways (Toastmasters’ innovative
new learning experience) which is anchored in the first and most important
beliefs and understanding of our founder. To quote the words of Ralph C.
Smedley, “Training in speech….opens the way to more creative and constructive
living for the person who takes full advantage of the opportunities offered”.
