2014/2015 EXCO installed! Prepare now for an awesome year ahead!
Learn from
the past and look towards the future. A remarkable year just ended and another incredible
year just began. Today’s chapter meeting is unlike any other as it also
includes the installation of the 2014/2015 EXCO. *Round of applause*
To start
off the meeting, our Outgoing President Roger
Yap CC/CL presented chocolaty tokens of appreciation to the 2013/2014 EXCO
for assisting him in managing the club throughout the year. Next came the installation
of the 2014/2015 EXCO by Incoming Division ‘A’ Governor Kenneth Yeo, ACS/ALB. All EXCO members were made to swear upon the
gavel that we will perform our duties to the utmost of our abilities. Incoming
President Sathiya CC then delivered
his inaugural address. Oh my gosh… we all laughed so hard at his amusing story
of why he joined Anchorvale TMC and how he progressed through the years. Good
job to your maiden President’s Address, Sathiya!
Congratulations!
Outgoing
Division ‘A’ Governor Carolyn
Street-Johns, DTM and Outgoing Area ‘A2’ Governor Rebecca Chan, ACB/ALB both shared their experience of being their
respective roles in the past year and gave well-wishes to their successors.
Most importantly, they both revealed that their favourite club will always be
the one and only Anchorvale TMC! What honour! Incoming Division ‘A’ Governor Kenneth Yeo, ACS/ALB also addressed his
hopes for the upcoming fiscal year.
Today, we
had a long refreshment break as we all enjoyed the delicious food prepared by Salma’s friend’s mother. Many thanks to
her for taking the effort!
We were
honoured to have our club mentors Jenny
Au, DTM and Richard Tay, DTM
give speeches meant to advice and encourage the incoming EXCO. Jenny discussed why teamwork is
powerful and how to achieve it. We even played games to build our team-bonding
abilities. The games involved solving word puzzles and blowing balloons. Congratulations
to the winning teams! Richard then
emphasized the importance of dreaming big and thinking big. He shared with us who
he WAS and how he became who he IS today.
The last
event of the meeting is the table topics session. Our Table Topics Master Riz Masurekar challenged participants to
rack their brains to give an impromptu speech regarding slogans of various companies.
Do come on down for the Humorous and Evaluation
Speech Contests on the 26th
of July. Trust me, your time there will be made worthwhile as you witness
the battle of wits and the clash of titans.
Special thanks to
appointment holders and visiting Toastmasters: Outgoing Division ‘A’ Governor Carolyn Street-Johns, DTM, Outgoing
Area ‘A2’ Governor Rebecca Chan, ACB/ALB,
Incoming Division ‘A’ Governor
Kenneth Yeo, ACS/ALB, Incoming Area ‘A2’
