Minutes of 11 January 2010 Meeting
Getting back on track.
Wow, how did TM Vanessa get back on track so quickly after holiday blues?
These are some tips that she shared:
§ Short work out. 5-10 minutes work out is better than nothing.
§ Try new recipe. Well, if you don’t want to do it yourself, you can persuade your wife, husband, maid, or family members to do it J
§ Eat healthy breakfast.
§ Drink water, min 8 glasses a day.
§ Track your food. Monitor what you’ve been eating, and see how you feel.
§ Share your goals with others so they can remind you when you’re off track.
§ Hang out with your friends.
§ Take a walk and enjoy it. Don’t worry, if you get lost..well that’s the fun part of it too maybe :D
§ Create a motivational collage. Put pictures of people you admire in the place where you can see them.
§ Ride your bike. (I share you my little secret, I can’t ride a bike :D – childhood trauma..hahahaha )
So what happened last Monday night?
As mentioned in the email, we have found a new venue, temporarily until we get a better one. However…our venue was really special. It’s on the second floor of Bumbu Desa restaurant and has the long table in it. I guess it’s a good place to practice for rather informal or toast-like speech. A change of ambience is a good exercise to test your public speaking skills.
At 6.45, the delicious sundanesse food were served, and the meeting itself started at 7.10 pm. There were 15 people enjoying the long table meeting, including Guest Ivan (who is TM Elbert’s brother), Guest Matthew who joined Atlanta Toastmaster, and Guest Lani (who was a friend of Guest Matthew and didn’t know anything about Toastmaster) . TM Arland, a visiting Toastmaster from Surabaya, was also seen among the crowds.
TM Vanessa was the TOM for that night. She boosted our energy for the year to come with the theme of ‘How Do I Get Back on Track?’. Her partner in crime was the GE, TM Harlina, who was assisted by TM Selvi as Grammarian, TM Rini as The Timer, TM Kardinal who volunteered to become a Ballot Counter, and TM Hotma who was the Ah&WOD Counter.
The WORD OF THAT DAY was CONSISTENT , which simply means NOT CHANGING.
That night we only had one prepared speaker, TM Fathia, who shared her own story of how to get back on track. Delivering her BM#6, she encouraged us to have a little faith in ourselves and God that life will go our way. She was evaluated by TM Robert.
Unlike the usual meetings, we had a rehearsal session for our presentation at the Wall Street Institute. TM Matthew opened the session by introducing himself in Wall-Street- Institute- way. He shared about what was Toastmaster and how it worked by using a n analogy to a story about a king who gave riddle to a prospective son-in-laws. Come to think of it,….if you’re the best speaker that night during Toastmaster meeting, you have a good chance of becoming a prince then?
Then TM Johan led a session on Table Topic. He explained what was it and how to do it correctly. So actually the correct way of doing it is to have a speaker stand up and then throw the questions (or statement, or quotation). The speaker should know the topic only when s/he is on the spotlight.
Guest Ivan, TM Arland, TM Kardinal, and TM Matthew participated in that table topic session. TM Johan gave them each a nice quotation to reflect on. Based on the ballot vote, the best Table Topic speaker was TM Arland.
Just before ending the meeting, the fully-back-on- track TOM, TM Vanessa, organized the roster for the next meeting.
So hope you all are on track now. Let's show it on next Monday!
See you all!!
SO COME TO THE NEXT MEETING AND OTHERWISE YOU’RE GOING TO MISS US TERRIBLY!!
