JOURNEY….

That was our theme last night. Our newly VP Membership (VPM), TM Henry was our Toastmaster of the Meeting and he picked the theme due to his recent journey to Solo with his family to attend his brother’s wedding. He referred the theme to our journey in toastmaster where we need guidance in our “Toastmaster’s journey” so we will not get lost…. Want to know more?

The meeting was opened a little bit late by our president, DTM Johan. 14 people came including 2 guests and 1 visiting Toastmaster from Jakarta Motivators Toastmasters Club.

Our immediate past Secretary, CC Fathia was our GE. She introduced her team members: DTM Harlina as Grammarian, TM Wahyu as Timer, soon to be TM Jay was Ballot counter and TM Kardinal was Ah and WOD counter.
The word of the day was “PLAN”

Unlike the regular meeting, there was no table topic session. Prepared speech session was our first session and we had 2 prepared speakers:

TM Valeria delivered her BM4 (Working with words, 5-7 min), title “Writing Haiku”. She explained in detail what Haiku is and gave many examplest. “Haiku” is poem in Japanese. Of course our Japanese expert ACB Astuty was her evaluator

TM Yoanita amazed us with her Ice Breaker (4-6 min) titel " the journey, I become me" . She started her speech by letting us know about her passions and how her life just began after she knew her passions. She was evaluated by ATMB/CL Etta

Then our second session was Educational Session, held by no other than our president DTM Johan. He explained in detail about “Mentoring” in toastmaster. He asked: "Did you still remember who your mentor is? When did the last time you contact him/her?".... Some among us were surprised and tried to remember his/her mentor.
Then he also reminded us here in Toastmasters that we learn by doing to be on track to achieve higher level and a Mentor will guide us in our journey in Toastmaster. Do you want to BE e a Mentor? Do you want to HAVE a mentor ? We have many vacancies for Mentor/mentee. All you need to do is just contact Johan (johan_seti@yahoo.com), but please do it in an appropriate time otherwise …. You know laah the consequences...
