On Friday, 02 August 2013, 4 of our members
visited Marine Parade Toastmasters Club in participation of the “Pirates of the
Golden Gavel” program. Sathiya, Salma,
Sreeman and myself were warmly welcomed by the nice folks there. The
program was initiated by the District Leaders, to promote the spirit of
camaraderie among different clubs within the same division. Marine Parade was the first club to get the
rights of holding on to the golden gavel, while Anchorvale volunteers as the
first challenger.
The Golden Gavel!
We took on some appointment roles while
being part of the group during their chapter meeting;
Roger Yap-
Language Evaluator
SathiyaMoorthi- Project Evaluator
Salma Begum- Timer
Sreeman Mannamusiva- Speaker for a prepared speech project
Merely a week away from our National Day,
the organizer decided to adopt a patriotic theme by asking all participants to
turn up in red & white. Well, it
seemed like a tall order for me, as I don’t have anything that is red in
color. I tried to put a red hanky,
exposing it on the front pocket of my blazer, but it really looked awful. Definitely a better idea not to do it, I will
look as if I travelled in a time-machine and came from 1960s! Fortunately, no one really
noticed as I was virtually hidden from view in the sea of reds and whites.
The fellow toastmasters from Marine Parade
were such gracious hosts; we
really had a great time during the meeting, enjoying their company. N
ow that the Golden Gavel has landed on our turf, we endeavor to show similar hospitality to our guests. Till date, we have already heard from 3 different clubs, who expressed their desire to join us on Saturday, 24th August. (9am to 1pm). It is certainly going to be an exhilarating experience for everyone involved.
The team that brought back the gavel!
For anyone who is interested to be part of
the action, do feel free to contact our VPE, Sathiyamoorthi at 98528340!
At the same time, feel free to come down or drop in on the action on the 24th August 2013 (9 am - 1 pm) - Anchorvale Toastmasters await your arrival!
