Making Bandung
Bandung – a local drink, is a mixture of Water, Rose Syrup and Milk. Just like a Toastmasters Club – Some members are like Life-Giving water. They provide basic support like turning up early for meetings and helping out with setting up the room for a conducive meeting, buying refreshments, making sure our conference room is booked and reserved for our monthly meetings, filling in by holding appointments (at the 11th hour), during meetings when some members cannot turn up due to unforseen circumstances.
Some members are just like Rose Syrup. They add colour and flavour to our meetings. They are the Life of The Party types! They are entertaining speakers, adding humour and fun to our meetings. Some are sweet – adding their Smiles, Warmth and Friendliness! While others are like Milk! They add Nutrition to our meetings! Knowledgeable Intellectuals, Experienced, Professionals and Well Educated, they add depth and width to our understanding about a wide variety of topics! They are open and willing to share their wealth of knowledge and experience. They add Substance and Quality to our meetings!
As the President of the club, my job is like a Stirrer. As I stir, I am able to mix all these 3 elements; Integrating, Gelling and Uniting all our members, to become a Cohesive Force – A Formidable Team - Like Sweet, Nutritious, Delicious, Thirst - Quenching Bandung!
