Minutes of Meeting on 22 June 2009

Hi everyone!

Toastmasters Club is a place to make mistakes. Really? Well, that’s what CC Alistair, our Toastmaster of the Meeting, thinks of. The theme of the meeting was “Make Mistakes”. It means that people should stand up, make mistakes, and learn from them. That includes coming to a Toastmasters meeting and take a role!

Our General Evaluator was TM Siska. She was helped by a team that consisted of: ACB Jhonson as Grammarian, TM Sunardi as Timer, TM Yuli as Ballot Counter, and CC Thomas as “Ah” & Word of the Day Counter. The word of the day was “positive”.

The Table Topics Session was led by CC Matthew, the Table Topics Master. He gave an example of an event or a situation, most of which involved an accusation, and asked the member to make a speech based on it. Five people came up: ACB Jhonson, guest Ivina, ATM/CL Robert, TM Yuli, and ATMB Etta.


We had four prepared speaker. TM Colin talked of the benefit of a good night’s sleep, drawing from his own experience. He was evaluated by ACS/ALB Vina. TM Steisi, from Mets Club, explained how words can hurt you just like a sword. She was evaluated by ATM/CL Robert. TM Ivan delivered his BM#10 and reminded us to live life to the fullest. He was evaluated by ATMB Etta. CC Dyah talked about three things that make a person successful. She was evaluated by DTM Harlina.

We had an award session, led by CTM/CL Imung. The session was basically about giving awards to the regulars who are believed to have a unique quality. The point is to tell everyone that anyone deserves to be appreciated. Well, we are all winner deep inside, right?

Now, for the hall of fame. The best Table Topics Speaker was ATMB Etta. The best Evaluator was ATM/CL Robert. The best prepared Speaker was TM Steisi. The President’s Award went to TM Siska.

So, that’s all for now. Next week there will be a ceremonial handover from the current presidency to the next one. If you are curious to meet the new lineup of the 2009-2010 Ex-Co, do come. See you next week!

Dyah Yasmina
