Small crowd, yet equally warm.
It’s Anchorvale’s chapter meeting
again! It was a relatively smaller crowd than usual, but as equally passionate
and warm as usual. Our ever-so-charming Sergeant-At-Arms, Norman, CC, started off the meeting by requesting everyone to
introduce themselves, as well as state whether he/she is a rain or shine
person. Our President, Sathiya, CC,
then used the analogy of a teak tree to describe Anchorvale TMC’s growth
throughout the years. And finally, this effort has bore fruits of labour by
having three of our members, Riz, Zulhafni, ACB and Roger, CC/CL, reach the District level of the Humorous &
Evaluation Speech Contest. Three cheers to Anchorvale! Hip hip hooray!
Today, we had a language evaluator
judging our use of the English language. He is none other than our club
champion speaker, Riz! He started
off by introducing the Word of the Day – EXECUTE. He then explained the meaning
of the word and encouraged everyone to make use of that word.
The prepared speech segment started
off with Karthik reminiscing his
earlier days. Congratulations on completing your icebreaker speech! Mae then tried to encourage everyone to
watch horror movies by listing out the various benefits.In Tiam presented us with an educational guide to effective
presentation. In addition, kudos to In
Tiam for taking up the Toastmaster of the Day role as well. Muthu then had everyone laughing by
speaking on boring school life and education. Our Area Governor, Melvyn, CC, CL, then taught everyone
the techniques of breathing through an enlightening speech and interesting
demonstration.
The evaluators, Prasad, Hareesh, CC, Rudy, CC, CL, Zulhafni, ACB, Ruchi, ACG,
ALB, then commented on the prepared speeches by pointing out the good
points and rooms for improvement. Zulhafni’s
impressive delivery of his evaluation won him the top prize. Soon came the most
exciting time of the chapter meeting, table topics! This time round, we were
challenged with holidays and special occasions by our dear Norman, CC. Roger's
impressive tale on April Fool's Day clinched him the gold. However, Roger generously gave his award to
Anchorvale's young star speaker Likitesh
instead.
Do not take our words for it, visit us at
Anchorvale TMC’s 62nd Chapter Meeting on the 13th of December to experience it for yourself.
Special thanks to all appointment holders and visiting Toastmasters: Melvyn, CC, CL (Toastmasters@Hope)
and Ruchi Kushwaha, ACG, ALB (Advancity TMC).
