Minutes of Meeting 23 March 2009

Hi again, everyone!

We had an exciting meeting last Monday, thanks to our Toastmaster of the Meeting, TM Siska! The theme was “Unwinding Life”. She further explained that life can have a “relaxing” quality, as found in chocolate. Between sessions, she elaborated lessons of life she learned from chocolate.

The General Evaluator was CC Alistair. He was helped by CC Dyah as Grammarian, TM Yeni as Timer, TM Ivan as Ballot Counter, and TM Men Jung as “Ah” and Word of the Day Counter. The word of the day was “revelation”.

The table topics session had a different format, because the speeches weren’t timed. The Table Topics Master was CTM/CL Imung. She invited four man and two women on stage. We had six people volunteering: TM Fathia, ACS/ALB Vina, TM Sunardi, CC Alistair, ACB Jhonson, and Guest Thomas. After the women were asked to leave the room, our TTM asked the men to played different roles. Afterwards the women were invited again and they were supposed to ask questions to the man, before guessing the characteristics assigned to each man. You should be there to hear the questions & answers session. It was funny! In this session, audience voted only the male speakers.

We had three prepared speakers. TM Ronny delivered his BM#1 titled “Why I Joined Toastmasters”. He was evaluated by ACB Jhonson. TM Steisi delivered BM#3 titled “Dreams Do Come True”. She was evaluated by DTM Harlina. CC Matthew delivered AM#2 Special Occasion, titled “Looking after Yourself”. He was evaluated by DTM Nono. We also had a special guest delivering a speech : Toastmaster Anne talked about her father who was a very dedicated member of Toastmasters.

For the hall of fame : the best table topics speaker was CC Alistair; the best prepared speaker was CC Matthew, and the best Evaluator was DTM Nono. The President’s award went to ATM Robert.

Well, that’s all for now. See you all again next Monday!

Dyah Yasmina
Secretary
