Anchorvale TMC Chapter Meeting on 28th June 2014

Wow! Would you look at that? Our term has officially ended and what a mind-blowing fiscal year it has been.

From two sensational club contests, incredible membership growth, a 5 hour joint meeting so epic, it filled the conference room to the brim, and most importantly, bonds of friendship tied so intricately, we call ourselves family, this term has been truly remarkable.

Today’s meeting had two ice breakers! Congratulations to Peiya and Zhu Song for taking the first steps to what will hopefully be a rewarding adventure into the realms of public speaking! Vijay and Prasad both displayed tremendous improvements in their speeches.

One of our most senior members, Leng Leng reminded us, of the importance of marriage and how to really appreciate one’s spouse. Finally, Thomas CC tackled one of the hardest projects from the Advance Manual as he conquered the ‘Cold Call’ very emphatically, having plenty of humor, with the charming Saleena as his partner.

We were lucky to have a great panel of evaluators, and congratulations to Chee Sian for completing his first project evaluation.

Our Table Topics Master, President Roger Yap CC/CL challenged the participants with intelligent phrases and true to Anchorvale Style, we had 12 enthusiastic volunteers.

Even better, we were treated to a scintillating Language Evaluation by Shaun Loi ACS/ALB from Tampines Changkat TMC followed by an astute general evaluation by Colin Chue CC from Braddell Heights Advanced TMC. We have much to learn from our valued guests!

I feel so blessed to be a part of this team. The energy levels displayed during chapter meetings and the progress that members have made brings joy to my heart.

I know I sound very cheesy, but that is the truth. I believe we can reach further into the stars, as we seek to improve ourselves as communicators, leaders and most importantly, people!

To everyone at Anchorvale CC Toastmasters, let us not let the success we have achieved now stagnate us, rather let us enjoy it.

Our Toastmasters journey will not end with the title of Competent Communicator or Distinguished Toastmaster. Here’s to an even better year with Anchorvale!

Do come on down for our next chapter meeting on the 12^th of July as we unveil the Exco Team for 2014/2015 and our Humorous and Evaluation Speech Contests on the 26^th of July. It will be a bumper July indeed.

We would like to thank all appointment holders!

Congratulations to Award Winners!
