Inspiring & interesting, short & sweet.
Our dear President, Sathiyamoorthi, CC, kicked off
Anchorvale’s 57th Chapter Meeting by discussing goal-setting and how
to achieve it. BAR. Word of the Day – bar. Norman,
our language evaluator explained the multiple uses of the word ‘bar’ and
encouraged us to use it throughout the meeting.
It was time for our prepared
speeches. Initially we were supposed to have a total of 3 speakers, but 2 of
them dropped out. Despite that, the chapter meeting has to go on. Mae gave an inspiring speech on how she
discovered her own identity and how fortunate she is for having such
understanding and accepting people in her life. Her confidence and courage won
her a standing ovation from some of our members.
Next up was the brain-racking table
topics segment. The theme Ken gave this
time round is phobia. There are many different types of phobia in the world,
some serious, some may just seem comical. Speakers had to pick at random one
type of unusual phobia and speak about it.
Rachel then
gave her evaluation of Mae’s speech.
She pointed out the good aspects of her speech and gave her some tips to
improve. They both seem to have one problem in common – sticking with the time
limit! Nonetheless, let’s all improve on that together! :)
Norman, our
language evaluator gave high praises to speakers who have used the word of the
day and literary techniques, such as rhetorical question and triads, correctly.
We were also blessed with a general evaluator for this chapter meeting.
Visiting toastmaster Daniel Chu, CC/CL,
commented on how our meeting was held and gave us some useful pointers for
improvement.
On another note, Anchorvale TMC
presents … … the Anchorvale Progress Roster! For the first time, we are trying
out this new format of providing update through Google docs. If it works well,
this format can hopefully be adopted for booking of speeches in the future, which
will hopefully ease congestion while simplifying the process! This form is specially done up by our charming Norman and Zulhafni, ACB. Please click on
the link below to fill in the form. It will only take you a minute!
Courage is not the absence of fear,
but the mastery of it. Take your first step in overcoming your fear of public
speaking. Come down for Anchorvale TMC’s 58th Chapter Meeting
on the 13th of September.
Just a reminder for all our members, our 58th Chapter Meeting will
be held in conjunction with a team bonding event (BBQ @ Blk 317). Mark it on
your calendars! You are welcomed to bring along your family members as well. Special
thank goes to Chee Sian for making the beautiful poster.
A big thank-you to all appointment holders and
visiting Toastmasters: Daniel Chu, CC/CL and Justin, ACB/ALB.
