The meeting on Wednesday 30 September 2009 was the first meeting held after the long holiday of the Festive Season Idul Fitri. Therefore the Toasmasters of The Meeting Jessica brought an idea of “Contrary Fact of Forgivess” as the meeting theme. Her opening was a remembrance of her friendship where forgiveness take whole part of the story. Also this is the time when we all return to our homebase – Kemiri Restaurant, after a month having a meeting in 2 different places.
This meeting also showed how effective a publication through the website is. Most of the guests found out about the club when they surfed. Our website is just a month away and we’re already have benefit from it.
Combined with the creativity of the Table Topic Master Pauline, she appeared with a box full of stuffs, the idea she had was that the Speaker would take any of the stuff and tell everything about it. On Table Topic Session, where Speaker stand up and delivers an impromptu speech, stories came out of the box when a box of cookies, postcard are picked up.
During prepared speech session, there are 4 speakers. TM Youngky on Basic Manual #1 (Ice Breaker) titled “I, Me and Myself”. Ice Breaker as the first project for the new member to encourage them delivering their speech. TM Youngky told the audience his childhood memories in Kalimantan and his journey of studies which then brought him up to Surabaya up to today.
The other speakers were TM Anita on BM# 2 (Organize Your Speech) titled Perception & Behaviour, TM Ronald BM#4 (How to Say it) titled “ On Purpose Person: the Beginning Three Steps" and ACB ALS David on Storytelling#2 (Let’s Get Personal) titled “It’s Not a Race”.
