MoM 12 May: A Month of May

The theme for the meeting was “A Month of May” and was hosted by none other than our very own VP of Education, CC Rina. The meeting theme was centered around seasons and the fact that this month was a month of growth and new beginnings.


The table topics session, which was conducted by TM Helda, was very entertaining and had several eager participants, who were asked to give impromptu speeches on objects in small bottles. These ranged from peanuts to a ladies wrist watch.

For the prepared speech session the first speaker was our Division I Governor, DTM Arlan, who gave an educational session on how to give a speech. It was particularly useful considering how the opening of your speech paves the way for the rest of your talk.

The next speaker was our Area G3 governor, ACB ALB David, who was doing his Touching Story project, from the Advanced Storytelling manual. His speech was about a young girl who dared to dream a dream about overcoming the many difficulties in her life and making the world just a little bit better … and actually succeeded. He was evaluated by CC Billy, our VP of Membership.

The final presenter for the evening was the Division G International Speech winner and visiting Toastmaster, TM Fellysia, who was doing her Your Body Speaks project, from the Basic Manual. She shared about several defining moments and events in her life which made her into the person that she is today. She was evaluated by our club president, ACB Niken.

The position for best Table Topics speaker for the evening was shared between ACB ALB Martin and TM Andi. The best evaluator was ACB Niken. Finally, the person who won the most coveted award, the best prepared speaker of the evening, was TM Fellysia.

Overall, it was a fun and eventful meeting, not to mention we’ve got an enthusiastic new member on board: TM Andi
