Minutes of Meetings : 6 April 2009
Hi everyone!
Last Monday we had heavy rain and traffic jam all over Jakarta. But yet, 22 people including 7 guests managed to come to our meeting. Not only we had an excellent meeting, we also had an induction session. TM Fathia was inducted. And she also delivered her BM#1! But oops, that’s not to be told right now. I should first introduce our Toastmaster of the Meeting. TM Yeni led our meeting as the TOM, with a theme “A Book is a Gift You Can Open Again and Again”. She had us bring our favourite books, and she also invited us to donate our old books!
The General Evaluator was ACS/ALB Vina. She was helped by ACB/ALB Johan as the Grammarian, TM Siska as Timer, TM Ivan as Ah and Word of the Day Counter, and CC Dyah as Ballot Counter. The word of the day was “present”.
The Table Topics Session was lead by CTM/CL Imung. First, she announced the titles of books brought by members to the meeting. After that, she used some of the titles as a main theme for the speakers to make a speech. Three people came up: CC Dyah, CC Alistair, and Guest Collin.
We had a joke session, brought up by CC Alistair. From oxygen to women’s brains, he really made us laugh out loud.
After that, came the prepared speech session. Four speakers delivered their speech. TM Fathia delivered BM#1 titled “Confession of a Workaholic”. She was evaluated by ATMB/CL Etta. (Visiting) TM Gani delivered BM#5 titled “Prepared or You’ll Be Sorry”. He was evaluated by (visiting) DTM Maria Megawati. CC Astuty presented her AM#4 Interpretive Reading: The Play, titled “Mouse Deer, A Great Table Topics Speaker”. She was evaluated by CC Alistair. Last but not least, CC Vanessa practiced her speech for the District Competition which titled “Do Not Mind the Gap”. DTM Harlina led a small discussion/evaluation session for her.
And then we arrived at the General Evaluation Session. Our grammarian had a long session of language evaluation, where he mentioned many grammatical mistakes and explained them to the minutiae details. It suited him, since our Grammarian really loves to talk! But this kind of session is good to enhance our knowledge in correct English. We should have it some other time. Other members of the GE Team presented their part very well, too!
Finally we came to the Hall of Fame. The best Table Topics Speaker was Guest Collin. The best Prepared Speaker was CC Vanessa. The best Evaluator was ATMB/CL Etta. The President’s Award went to ACS/ALB Vina.
Well, that’s all for now. See you again!
