Welcome welcome, to another fabulous day at Anchorvale Toastmasters
A day to show-case the prowess of our talented Toastmasters. Our chapter meeting was attended by
more than 30 Toastmaster members and visiting guests.
It was my pleasure to take up the role of Toastmaster
of the Day for the very first time.
This meeting was extra special, because we had an
induction ceremony for our new members conducted by our VPM Norman Tan.
After the induction ceremony, our Club President-
CC/CL Roger Yap gave an opening address in which he explained his thrilling
Indonesia adventure where he was stranded due to the sudden volcano eruption causing
massive travel disruption.
We had a sterling round of prepared speeches. Congrats
to Ken Chen and Zal for completing their maiden speeches in which they
described their musical journey and pursuit for self-development respectively.
Followed by an empowering speech from Saleena about how we can save the world.
Venkat’s P6 was a superb fictional horror story that kept us on the edge of our
seats. Our final prepared speaker was our heroic superstar, our VPE Sathya, who
just completed his P10. Congratulations on becoming a Competent Communicator!
He described his ‘Mission Impossible’ and inspired us to strive to achieve our
dreams.
Followed by another round of excellent feedback from
our evaluators, and special congrats to TM Joseph Chong who completed his first
project evaluation. We moved on to Table Topics, conducted brilliantly by CC
May Lee. The topics were based on intelligent quotes inspired by the prepared
speeches. As she said, the harder the topics, the better the quality of
speeches. And we could definitely see that being true, our table topics
speakers wowed us as they tackled the tricky questions.
Our special thanks to VisitingToastmaster- Daniel
Lee, Grassroots TMC for participating in our meeting as a General Evaluator and all appointment holders.
Congratulations to our award winners!
Best Prepared Speech – CC Sathyamoorthi
Best Table Topics – Jim Hencke
We hope to see you at our next meeting on the 19th
of April! Watch out for more details.
