Recap: 228th Chapter Meeting – 27 April 2024

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.
