Minutes of Meeting : June 29, 2009
Are you happy?
Dude, it’s Thursday...one more day to go to the office…seriously… ARE YOU HAPPY?
Well, we were surely happy in our Toastmasters Meeting last Monday night, June 29, 2009.
The theme for that night was ‘Happiness’, and the Toastmaster of the Meeting was TM Steisi, a visiting Toast Master. It was such a treat for us to have a someone who isn’t a JTC member to do a big role. Thank you, TM Steisi. Her cheerful mood throughout the meeting was surely contagious to all of us there (Note: Word of the Day was ‘Contagious’) J
Our GE, ATMB Etta and her team evaluated the meeting. TM Yuli was the modest Grammarian, TM Fathia was in charged for her favorite role as the Timer, TM Diah was the fast-moving yet reliable Ballot Counter, and ACS/ALB Vina as usual performed her detailed observation as the Ah/WOD Counter.
We also have another treat that night. This time is from TM Khrisma, a visiting Toast Master, who played the role as Table Topic Master. In this session, she divided us into two groups, who soon got too competitive with each other. Each group was given a chance to answer a question. The fun part is, those who answered the questions got to do the Table Topic Speech! TM Dyah, CC Vanessa, ATMB Etta, DTM Harlina, and Prospective TM Jason stood up and gave their speeches. TM Khrisma also equipped us with a ‘Happiness is all around you’ hand out, to ensure we all go home feeling happy.
That night, all of the speakers for Prepared Speeches session were delivering their advance manual. CC Matthew talked about “Fact Finding Report”. Having done his thorough research with cars, bicycles, ladies shoes – everything you name it, he tried to convince us the future colour is red. He was evaluated by DTM Harlina. The second speaker is ACB/CL Imung, who did a monodrama titled “It’s beginning to hurt”. It was a very interesting story about a man who cheated on his wife. Poor wife, but if you were there and listened to Imung’s vocalization on the wife, you would empathize how he felt. (Naaah..I’m just adding too much here J). CC/CL Alistair evaluated her speech. The last speaker was a visiting Toast Master, CC Indri, who were acting as a Public Relations for Garuda Indonesia, explaining the accident that happened a couple of years ago. TM Harry evaluated her speech.
After the evaluation session, TM Dyah announced ATMB Etta and CC Vanessa as the winners of Table Topic Speakers, CC Matthew as the winner of Prepared Speaker, and CC Alistair as the best evaluator. The President’s Award went to TM Steisi.
That night was also the last night we would see our former JTC President, CC Alistair, to open and close the meeting. We had the induction of the new Executive Committees, which was done by our District Governor I, ACS/ALB Johan Setiawan. All New Exco vowed to perform their roles their best.
The meeting finished later than usual, at about 9.15 pm.
With so many special sessions (all speakers doing their advance manual, last opening and closing from our President, and induction session), we also learn a very valuable lesson to keep ourselves and others happy. In her evaluation, ATMB Etta reminded us that we all come to Toast Masters meeting to build our confidence to speak in public. So it is important to observe the positive sides of each speakers and advice them on how to improve.
It was a long meeting, yet a happy one.
See you all next Monday.
(I’ll try to manage and send the minutes sooner next time)
