384th Chapter Meeting Summary



Its been weeks since the 384th Chapter Meeting and it was definitely a Success! So for some of you who missed it, here are some of the highlights and words of appreciation from Shaun Li, Our dashing VPE!

Dear all,


It was 15 Jul 10, and I was inspired, in awe and impressed. Once again, we are treated to a delightful display of oratorical and dramatic finesse by all the speakers.

Great job Crispin, our TME of the day! Thank you for bringing much life and laughter into our club.


Who can forget how he did a twist on Gim Leong’s SPH to a girl’s heart and by turning it into the Silly, Poor and Hopeless ways not to get a girl’s heart.

Thank you Sharon! Thank you for giving us the timely reminder that life in Singapore wasn’t always so prosperous. Thank you for reminding us that Singapore’s progress and development is built on the blood, sweat and tears of our pioneers.

For those who are unattached, Gim Leong was an angel of hope. He had let on to us the secrets to the heart of that special someone! For those who are attached, he reminded us that the special one’s not easy to come by, cherish it.

Tampines Changkat TMC’s monthly birthday celebrations will no longer be the same. That’s especially, after the enlightenment by Daniel that Birthday’s celebrations is a reminder that everyone’s special.

“I don’t have any ideas!”, “I don’t have a storyline!” These are constant laments by the many toastmasters. However, Terry has shown us the best ideas come from our daily life experience. A light hearted tale of his maiden drinking experience has certainly enraptured and entertained us. Speech crafters, Terry’s tip to you: Start living and start observing.

Ever wondered why you bought something and grew to regret it? We tend to be self critical when that happens. Now we know the true culprit, dopamines! Thanks Coen, thanks for shedding light on our cravings for shopping.

On behalf of our club, I salute our Project Evaluators, Sua Ying of NUSS TMC, Saddiq and Saddiqi of Nee Soon East TMC, as well as our own Thomas and Tony. Thank you for highlighting on what our speakers have done well, so that we will know our strengths. Thank you for giving tips on how we improve our game of speech crafting and presentation. Thank you for demonstrating how to give a proper evaluation.

Giving English lessons for free, this is how a Toastmaster described the role of an LE. While not a Teacher by profession, our LE, Johnny from NTU Alumni TMC has certainly done a language evaluation that gave English Teachers, a run for their money. Furthermore, he had reminded us of the presence of a precious gem in our book shelves which we often neglect. It’s none other than our dictionary. A big thank you from our club, we have certainly learnt a lot from you!

Of course, how can we forget the various appointment holders without which the chapter cannot be held? Installing Officer, Michael; SAA, Zhi Qiang; Ah Counter, Linda; and Timer, Atindra. Thank you for answering to our Club’s call when we needed you!

Member and Audience, don’t think that we have forgotten you! Your energy and enthusiasm have certainly enliven the meeting. Keep it up.

If you find this Chapter Meeting great, wait till you have seen the next one. Stay tune for the next chapter meeting on the 5th of August 2010!!!


Regards,
