Minutes of November 09, 2009 Meeting

Dear fellow Toastmasters,

For those of you who didn’t come to our last meeting, I must say that you missed a lot of new things that night.

That special night, we were provided with variety of fresh juices; guava, orange, sour sop, and maybe melon (there’s one greenish juice that I didn’t taste). TM Kardinal surely enjoys his role of being the new SAA! Great job, dude!

There were 18 people coming for the meeting, including 7 guests.


A not-so-new thing happened again that night was after the introduction of the guests; CC Matthew conducted the President’s Interview. He chose to interview our VP Public Relations, DTM Harlina Indra.

How much do you know DTM Harlina?

Amazingly, she’s been involved in JTC for 10 years!! Isn’t that amazing? She achieved her DTM after more than 5 years. More amazing was that she said she thought she would quit Toastmasters after finishing her Basic Manual. Not only she has been staying for 10 years, she also was an Area Governor where she had to mentor a new club. Again, isn’t that amazing?


Introducing the theme for that night, FIGHT FOR YOUR HONOR, TM Ronny as the TOM, reminded us about what happened on November 10, 45.

When was the last time you reminisce about our heroes, heroines, or our history?

In my case, maybe last August, where I bought some heroes and heroines posters to be hung on our cafeteria for decoration. But I didn’t go through all the hassle and bustle of the history sides. J


And to be honest, I thought we’re going to talk about Karate Kid, the 1990’s hit movie..but then again, TM Ronny is definitely not shallow like someone else…(READ: ME).


TM Ronny surely did some research on that incident in Yamato Hotel in 1945. Moreover, he shared the details in a power point. Isn’t he a good role model for the young generations? (Ronny, I do expect something in return for saying this).


Helping us to get better by evaluating the meeting was CC Dyah as the General Evaluator. She was assisted with TM Fathia as Grammarian, long time Guest Ray ad Timer, Newly inducted TM Jackson as Ballot Counter, and TM Selvi as Ah & WOD Counter.

The word of the day was TRIUMPH!


After visiting our club for several times, the triumphant TM Jackson finally decided to become a member and was inducted that night.


A new variation introduced that night was the Table Topic session conducted by CC Ivan. Rather than preparing and asking questions, he asked what characteristics heroes/heroines have in common from the audience. After 7 characteristics was mentioned, he then asked people to come up and share their opinions of heroes in their lives based on one or two of the characteristics mentioned.


7 speakers showed up for this session; CC Tomas, Guest HOtma, CC Matthew, Guest Ronny, Guest Nia, TM Jackson, and TM Fathia shared their views of the heroes and heroines in their lives.


For the prepared speeches, we have 3 speakers:
 CC Thomas talked about ‘The Art of Selling’. Evaluated by CC Matthew.
 TM Kardinal talked about the many meanings of his name; someone in catholic church hierarchy, name of a bird, and many others. He was evaluated by DTM Harlina.
 TM Olivia shared her tips on what to during earthquake (and definitely not updating your status in your facebook!). She was evaluated by CC Dyah.


HALL OF FAME:
 Best table topic speaker : TM Fathia
 Best prepared speaker : the one and only TM Kardinal
 Best evaluator : CC Dyah.


A new sight before I went home that night was that one of the guests registered herself to Dyah!
(Dyah, please correct me if I’m wrong).

Anyway..hope to see you again on the next TM meeting!

Minutes prepared by JTC Secretary TM Fathia.
