Anchorvale TMC 64th Chapter Meeting on 24th January 2015

Short and sweet

This  was Anchorvale’s express chapter meeting! Although it was a two hour meeting instead of the usual three hours, we still managed to cover everything. (With just a bit of rush, of course) On that day, we had four splendid speakers who shared their speech with lots of confidence. In fact, Xavier did his first Icebreaker speech, where he shared about his life stories and his awesome experience while he travelled to Las Vegas during his school internship and the amazing skydiving he tried over there. (Not to mention he lost one of his shoes during the dive)

Julie Mae moved on to her Project 6 – ‘Vocal Variety’ while In Tiam shared on his Project 8 – ‘Get Comfortable with Visual Aids’. In Tiam showed us some unique presentation tips using the PowerPoint slides.  It was really fun listening to both of the speakers as they engage with the audience.   

Lastly was our club champion Riz who delivered his memorable Project 10 – ‘Inspire Your Audience’ with boldly with confidence especially when he inspired the audience that it is not the size of the fighter but the size of the fight inside the fighter. The highlight came when he got everyone to stand up and got us to motivate ourselves by speaking encouraging words to ourselves and each other.

After the four prepared speeches, was my favorite segment- table topics! Rasu chaired the table topics as he challenged the audience to imagine they are living in the past or future (depending on the topic they picked) as 10 brave volunteers racked their brains to give an impromptu speech.

Lastly is our evaluators’ turn to shine while they shared what they liked most and areas for improvement.  They are Rachel, Hareesh, CC, Norman, CC and Shu Zhen, ACS, ALB, when they provided their thoughtful evaluations to the respective speakers. Norman’s excellent comments and evaluation won him the best evaluator of the day.

So do join us for our next chapter meeting on 14th February 2015!

Special thanks to all appointment holders and visiting Toastmaster: Shu Zhen, ACS, ALB.
