Toastmaster of the Meeting TM Yuli was very informative and shared how she felt as a new members a while ago .Interesting to know for the many guests present at the meeting !

- Guest Subchan had to comment on Mother's Theresa :"Tomorrow has not yet arrived, the future is today.

The Prepared Speech session was fully packed, entertaining and varied :
- TM Omar (BM #2, organize your speech ) shared with us the secrets of effective storytelling
- TM Adi and TM Karoline (BM # 1, icebreaker) shared information about their background and their experiences... I really learned more about this "merger" and who to turn to if I would like to plan my financial future.
- TM Olivia (BM # 6, vocal variety), re-ignited my enthusiasm for "the big sale"...
- TM Rini (BM # 4, working with words) set an heathy example with daily yoga and treadmill. (note from editor... Vanessa you have company !) ..

The evaluation team was meticulously led by General Evaluator CC Ivan. He was also the grammarian and partial WOD counter. TM Kardinal waved the green-yellow-red flags in his role as timer while as Sergeant at Arms he was busy adjusting to a new venue. TM Selvi was ballot announcer and counter.
