Minutes of Meeting 27 July 2009
The best in you! That was the theme of our last Toastmaster meeting on Monday, July 27, 2009.
There were 19 people coming to the meeting, including 4 visiting Toastmasters and 2 guests. The meeting started 10 minutes late, and in the opening remarks, CC Matthew encouraged all of us to give positive comments to each other.
Being her first time as the Toastmaster Of the Meeting, TM Yuli shared some of her wisdom in life. Some of them was that sometimes we might feel overwhelmed in life, but actually if you take a look at what you have done daily, you realized that actually you’ve done a great deal. If you think you’re only doing tedious job, but if you look at the bigger picture, you’ve done something great. Don’t give up!
Our General Evaluator was Area Governor I-1 ACG/CL Patar Simatupang from Metropolitan and Jakarta Advance Toastmasters Club. This lively GE was supported by his team, consisting of TM Cindy from British Toastmasters Club as Grammarian, TM Taufan as Timer, ACB Irfan from Essential Toastmasters Club as Ballot Counter, and ACS/ALB Wivina from Kebayoran Toastmasters Club as Ah & WOD Counter. Although her family was waiting for her in Plaza Senayan, ACS/ALB Wivina diligently decided to stay and support the meeting. Go TM Vina!
Table Topic session was led by TM Fathia. Inspired by the theme of the meeting, she cited several inspiring quotes and invited audience to share their view and experiences on those quotes. ATMB/CL Etta, TM Taufan, ACG/CL Patar, ACB Irfan, and TM Cindy participated.
There were 4 speakers for the Prepared Speeches session. All evaluators introduced the speakers and then called and introduce them.
Introducing the first speaker, TM Steisi from Metropolitan Toastmasters Club, was CC Ivan. TM Steisi delivered her BM#8, titled “I love Indonesia”. Using pictures from her personal collections on the slides, it was easily understood why she was so in love with her motherland.
The second speaker was TM Elbert, who shared his own recipe on how to motivate our self. Having a clear goal, a mission, and then have the supporting environment were his simple recipes. He was evaluated by TM Cindy.
The third speaker was TM Collin. Delivering his BM#4, he talked about the importance of people skills. In his speech titled “Personality vs Ability”, he stressed that ability would only take us this far. A growing number of CEOs in his company were previously sales people, whereby their people skills were unquestionably super. CC Matthew evaluated his speech.
The last speaker was TM Ronny, who talked about ‘Smoking Kills’. He used his personal story in an entertaining way to remind us even passive smokers would still be at risk.
Special for that night, we had an education session. CC Matthew shared some of his tips on how to reduce the nervousness when we talk in public. The lecture was titled “Taking the terror out of a talk”.
In the evaluation session, ACB Irfan announced the winner for that night. TM Cindy was the best Table Topic Speaker, TM Steisi was the best Prepared Speaker, and ATMB/CL Etta was the best Evaluator.
All ladies winners, accompanied by TM Yuli and ACB Irfan were photographed by DTM Harlina.
In the closing remarks, our Area I-1 Governor ACG/CL Patar reminded us that there will be competition for all clubs in our Area in the first week of September. CC Matthew as club president also announced that there will be two kinds of competitions; humorous speeches and evaluations. No requirements are needed to be qualified for humorous speeches as long as you are a member. While to be able to join evaluation sessions, you must at least have delivered you BM#6.
Although the meeting adjourned a little bit late, but it was closed by a birthday celebration. Representing the members who had their birthday in July, TM Yuli blew the candles and all of us ate the cake.
REMEMBER, TRY TO COME MINIMUM ON THE LAST MONDAY OF THE MONTH. TM TAUFAN WILL SURELY BRING A BIRTHDAY CAKE!
