Dear All,

Heavy traffic jams could not stop us JTC-ers from having a fun and fruitful meeting !

VP Membership (VPM) TM Henry opened the meeting.

CC Yuli enthusiastically led the meeting and made me realize that one of the reasons that we are in JTC is because inside our heart we have our own ambititon.. Wow... deep !!

She also led the prepared speech session with the following four speakers:
TM Beli (BM # 2, organized your speech), competent communcation (CC) manual , 5-7 min, entitled "Marriage dilemma, Career of Family", talked about the balancing act in his married life.

TM Cindy (BM # 1, icebreaker), CC manual, 4-6 min showed us how she was infected and inspired by the "law".

TM Valeriya (BM # 7, Research your topic), CC manual , 5-7 min, entitled "Ambition, is it good or bad ? ", urged us to take a good look at the source of our ambitions.

TM Jay (BM # 2, organized your speech), CC manual , 5-7 min, entitled " The power of appreciation" , made me write down a quote (the name of the auhor escaped me) that sounded approximately as follows : " One of the basic needs of people is to have the desire to feel important and the craving to be appreciated" .

Table Topics master ATM Robert stimulated a lot of laughter because he opened and closed his session with a joke and creatively let the following speakers read selected jokes and give comments on it :

- TM Cindy said how the joke could be related to her own family situation
- CC Yuli said that the joke is related to "grass that is always greener on the other side"
- TM Valeriya told about "reading people" over and over again and look for its deeper meaning.
- Yours Truly commented on how love can be blind, especially if the love interest is only 2 -dimensional
- DTM Johan said that happiness in married life can only be obtained with hard work and compromise...
