Minutes of Meeting 10 August 2009
Brave and Pure. That was the theme of last Toastmasters’ meeting.
The meeting started at 7.20 pm. TM Taufan opened the meeting differently this time. As a businessman himself, he encouraged us to help other small catering company grows. So instead of having ‘branded’ food regularly, he encouraged us to have the food from local small catering company. If we know any catering company that would provide 20 boxes, each costs max of IDR 17,000,- , please give TM Taufan a call by Friday. He then will contact the catering company, and arrange the food for the next Monday’s meeting. A very brave act coming from a pure heart J
CC Matthew as our club’s president gave his opening remarks. He then introduced our guest, Ira, who is actually our long lost Toastmaster. She joined JTC years ago and decided to come back and join the club again. She represented JTC in the speech contest in Kota Kinabalu in 1994.
CC Matthew then introduced the TOM, TM Ronny. It was the first time for TM Ronny to be the TOM. Playing double role that night, CC Matthew was the General Evaluator. He was assisted by CC Dyah as the Grammarian, TM Taufan as the Timer, TM Fathia as Ballot Counter, and TM Khrisma as the ‘Ah & WOD’ Counter. The WOD was DIGNITY.
Having attended the meeting several times before, that night we also had the induction ceremony for TM Olivia. CC Dyah led the short and sweet induction.
Realizing that the energy around the room was a bit low, CC Vanessa, who stepped up being the Table Topic Master that night, woke up all of the audiences with her creative games. She wittily used playing cards and some of her belongings to make the sessions interesting. The volunteers had to pretend that we were doing a commercial show promoting a certain product.
TM Fathia enlightened the audience of the use of ‘disco’ sunglasses, TM Olivia promoted the benefits of an orange, TM Ira creatively explained the uses of toilet papers you never thought of before, and CC Alistair fluently talked about a nail polish.
There were 3 prepared speakers for that night. ACS/ALB Vina delivered her BM#10 titled ‘Preparation for writing my memoir’. She shared some of her own current activities in preparing her memoir. Some of them are reading a lot of books, join the writer’s community, get permission from people you will mention in the book, and write a blog to practice your writing skills. Her speech was evaluated by TM Ivan.
The second speaker was TM Collin, who talked about detoxification. In his speech titled ‘Cleaning out your insides’, he shared his distinguished skills in recognizing his own health through human “leftovers” (I’m trying to use euphemism here). ATM Robert evaluated his speech.
Finishing up her Basic Manual, visiting Toastmaster TM Steisi talked about ‘Living life to the fullest’. Having been inspired by the book written by Paulo Coelho, she decided to make some changes in her life in 2009. Fortunately she was able to achieve them, which was going traveling and pursuing a master degree. The speech was evaluated by CC Alistair.
In the Hall of Fame session, TM Fathia was selected as the best table topic speaker, TM Steisi was the best prepared speaker, and CC Alistair was the best evaluator. The president’s award went to CC Vanessa for stepping up to take the Table Topic Master’s role last minutely.
After hearing some comments from Guest Ira, CC Vanessa as the VPE reminded us again about the contest on August 24, 2009. We will have the regular meeting again on Monday, August 31, 2009. To improve our knowledge, we also watched a video of the winner of evaluation speech contest last year in Bali.
Before the meeting adjourned, former president, CC Alistair, gave our club president, CC Matthew, a black and white ribbon for our club. The black ribbon indicates our club’s recognition for achieving 9-10 points, and the white one indicates our accomplishment in sponsoring a new club.
See you next Monday, August 24, 2009 for the Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest!
