It was a warm, splendid, and wonderful Saturday
afternoon at our Anchorvale CC Toastmaster Club's 228th
Chapter Meeting. It is our great honor to have other distinguished guests, new
members and fellow members from other clubs joining our hybrid meeting.
Our Club President, Adeline
Yeo, who has taken up triple roles as Sergeant-At-Arms, Toastmaster of the Day,
and Club President, called the meeting to order. She shared the meeting agenda
and introduced the appointment holders. New member, Shelly Angriany was holding the
role of Timer while Table Topics Master and Ah-Counter were held by Guests, Loo
Chia Mint and Alayna Seah (PM2) respectively. Adeline gave the Club President’s opening
address to everyone. As the theme of the Meeting was “Achieving Balance,
Enhancing Life”, Adeline shared an inspirational speech on what is life
balance and how to achieve and enhance it.
Prepared speeches were the highlights of the meeting. Three of our club members Prabha Jayaraman, Chong Wee Kim, Shelly
Angriany and a finalist contest speaker, Vincent Chen have stepped out from
their comfort zone, put forth their best abilities, and shared their life
experiences to each and everyone. Their stories impacted many of us and has
enhanced our learning.
Next, is our Table Topic Session, which was prepared by Speaker Toastmaster Club member, Loo Chia Mint. In this segment, club members and guests get a chance to share their views and experiences on the topics they have selected in a 1 -2-minute impromptus speech.
Thereafter, everyone gets together to have
a group photo session followed by a light refreshment. Everyone gets to
exchange their ideas, share about their experiences, and get to network with
one another. All had a very enjoyable time.
After the break, the project evaluators [Audrey
Lim (PM3), Iman Hossian (PM2), Joseph Tan (LD5, EC5, PM5, MS5), Wee Chee Sian
(VC2)] gave their feedback to our speakers on how they fared in their speech
presentation and how they could further improve. This was followed by our
Language Evaluation by our honorary member, Richard Sng (DMT) on the proper usage of
English Language, and our distinguished guest and Ah-Counter, Alayna Seah (PM2)
on the detailed Ah-Counter report. She also gave some useful tips on how to
effectively reduce pause fillers.
Now, it is time to reveal the winners for the prepared speech, table topics and best evaluator. Congratulation to Vincent Chen (DTM), Zulhafni Zulkeflee, and Wee Chee Sian (VC2). Well done!
Finally, the meeting has ended with our ending speech from our Club President.
The awards were presented to the following winners:
Best speakers: Vincent Chen (DTM)
Best Table Topics: Zulhafni Zulkeflee
Best Project Evaluator: Wee Chee Sian
(VC2)
We sincerely appreciated all appointment holders
for preparing and making this Chapter meeting a success and were grateful to
all guests and members who took time to attend this chapter meeting.
Do stay tune

Together We
