Minutes of 18 January 2010 Meeting
Do you associated ROUND TABLE with King Arthur or Xena the Warrior Princess?
Happy Weekend, Fellow Toastmasters!
Although almost late, but we still love to share with you of what happened in our last Monday, January 18, 2010 meeting.
As usual, at 6.45, all the delicious Sundanese food was presented in our long table. We started the meeting at 7.10 pm.
There were 18 people coming to the meeting. Guess what? THE GUESTS OUTNUMBER US AGAIN! There were 10 guests coming, and some of them were there for the second time.
So dear Fellow Toastmasters, we miss you sooo muuuucchhhhh… !!!
Interesting enough, the theme was ROUND TABLE. Although our table was really in the shape of long table!!
Taking the lead as the Toastmaster of the Meeting was TM Harlina. Due to the rigorous preparation of our team for the Wall Street Institute presentation, she thought it would be great to share more about Seminars, which is very closely related with the word ‘ROUND TABLE’.
Partnering with her as the General Evaluator was none other than our club president, TM Matthew. He was supported by TM Kardinal as The Timer, TM Yuli as The Grammarian, TM Fathia as Ah & WOD Counter, and Guest Yanti (who soon to be come a TM too) as the Ballot Counter.
Dressed in red and acting as the Table Topic Master was TM Fathia. Trying to beat the Sundanese music in that restaurant, she played a vibrant music and tossed a fury colourful ball around the participants. Who ever had the ball when the music stopped must stand up at front and voluntarily give a speech. There were 5 volunteers that night; Guest Ajeng, Guest Omar, Guest Febri, Guest Franky, and TM Yuli. They all explained about their dreams and opinions in regards to King Arthur era. After all, what is Round Table without King Arthur? It could be just another Chinese dining table, right?
Following the Table Topic session was the prepared speech sessions. In his BM#4 Project, TM Elbert shared his newly found meaning of being successful, that is doing what you like that could contribute something to the society. He decided that he’s not a competitive person, but he’d committed doing what he liked. His speech was evaluated by TM Matthew.
Also doing a BM#4 project was TM Olivia, who spilled her experience of traveling in Siem Reap, Cambodia. She never forgets about the Angkor Wat temple, the tuk-tuk ride experience, and the extraordinary sweet Cambodian food. Her speech was evaluated by TM Vanessa.
So who were our Best of the Best?
The best Table Topic speaker was TM Yuli.
The best Prepared speaker was TM Olivia.
The best Evaluator was TM Vanessa.
To answer the subject of this email, ROUND TABLE should be associated with Xena the warrior princess now, since all the winners were female! Yey!!
So Fellow Toastmasters… ..when was the last time you have Sundanese food and have a great time speaking English?
When was the last time the members outnumber the guests?
So, what are you waiting for? I see you on Monday night, January 25, 2010!!
