Meeting Review (4th July, 2006)

Today was the first meeting for the term 2006-2007.

Today, the baton was officially handed over by the towering, Immediate Past President Muhendaran to President Lourdes.

In addition to the entire EXCO being present, we had with us Bangsar Toastmasters - Bavani, Renuka (also the President of MIA), Mary (also the President of WIM); we have many Presidents in our club, the other being Rengan, who was missing in action today – President of Ernst & Young and KL Advanced.

Our ONLY guest was Kwong Chee Siong (TMIKL).

Please do take note that the word of the day for this article is not ‘President’

The WOD was “MESMERIZE”

Yours truly, Ranjit was the assigned TME with Lucky being the General Evaluator. Meeting started right on time with Lourdes tying up his maiden presidential speech to introduce the theme for the year “Make It Happen”.

Mr. Prez also promised 3 “F” words! Yes, not 1 but 3!!
FULFILMENT, FUN & FELLOWSHIP

Muhendaran hosted the Table Topics session with Ivan, Suriakumar, Bavani, Kwong and Mary sportingly ‘volunteering’, making it a lively session. It seemed like everyone was just waiting to be called out!!

Table Topics evaluation - done thoroughly by Renuka.

Best Table Topics Speaker – Mary was voted the best for the night.

Shan was for the first time ever, our Humor Master. He entertained us with his jokes… deep jokes. Very meaningful, so meaningful that some didn’t get them. Those who didn’t, please, loosen up, you guys can’t be that serious.

After the break, Lechuman did a lovely job with his candid frank opinion on “Public Bus Transportation” in his 9th speech from the C& L Manual. Lechuman is almost a CTM now. I was up next, speaking on fire hazards and prevention. Evaluators were Ivan Fong and Mary respectively.

Lucky and his team of evaluators – Bavani (Grammarian), Kwong (Ah Counter), Shandini (Timer) were up next. All of them gave good constructive feedback. Finally, Lourdes rolled out his plan, his vision, aspirations & hope for the new term for our beloved Bangsar Toastmasters Club (did you know that this club is a dream of one and a second helped the first realize his dream? Yes, that’s your Lucky and Ivan. Awesome! )
