MoM - 14 Oct 2009: Get Going and Be the Winner

The meeting was held at the usual venue, Kemiri Restaurant, and began with an excellent dinner followed by the meeting.

There were three guests, Cindy, Theo and Henry. Cindy had actually heard about the club from Dave and Annie Pearman and had invested further by checking out the club blog before deciding to come. Theo was Billy’s guest.

Following the guest introductions three new Toastmasters were inducted by CC Rina, the VP of Education, into the club. The new Toastmasters included TM Anda, TM Aris, TM Hugosan and TM Billy.

The Toastmaster of the Meeting was TM Leonardi and the theme for the evening’s meeting was “Get Going and Be the Winner”. The whole evening resonated with the theme, whose message was about challenging ourselves and becoming winners.

The Table Topics Session was lead by TM Billy and there were five participants (TM Ronald, TM Aris and TM Hugosan (who worked as a pair), TM Zenny, TM Juwati and TM Lucy). The theme of the Table Topics session was well prepared, stayed true to the theme of the meeting and included topics about challenge and being a winner.

For the prepared speech session there were three prepared speeches from TM Anda, TM Amilia and CC Niken.

TM Anda was working on BM#1 and told the audience about his work history, the challenges he’s faced and his dreams for the future. Impressively, he delivered his speech without notes. He was evaluated by TM Juwati.

TM Amelia was working on BM#6 and spoke about the importance of challenge and provided practical career building tips. She was evaluated by CC Rina.

Finally, CC Niken was working on AM#3 from the Storytelling Manual. She told the story of a diligent mouse and his end of year thanksgiving parties. She was evaluated by CC Pauline.
The evaluation session was conducted a bit differently than the usual evaluation sessions, starting with a table topics evaluation, conducted by ACB CL David. He provided both valuable evaluations and tips for the table topics speakers. He stressed the importance of using the PREP (Point Reason Example Point) model for impromptu speeches.
