52nd meeting, 22 May 2009

Last Friday, 22nd of May 2009, we had our 52nd meeting. This meeting was mostly conducted by our new excos.

Our new president, CC Deborah, gave a welcoming speech to the members, evaluators and some guests we had.
Rishi who was the Toastmaster of the Evening (TME) took control and he explained about the details of the meeting. Due to the special meeting because of being in the break time of the semester, he explained that the meeting would be a marathon of speeches without any Table Topics session and WOD. Yes, it was a marathon of speeches with 7 speakers including 5 CC Projects and 2 AC Projects.

1. CC Project #2 - 'Cut the Clutter, Get Organized' by TM Hui Xin
2. CC Project #3 - 'Care More about Your Weight Now, Worry Less Health Risk Later' by TM Siew Peng
3. CC Project #4 - 'Failed State' by TM Ras Hadi
4. CC Project #4 - 'A Dinner' by TM Fun
5. CC Project #9 - 'Act Now' by TM Nyuk Jet

6. AC Project #2 - 'Speaking in Praise' by CC Deborah
7. AC Project #5 - 'Echo and Narcissist' by CC Kimmy

All have done great speeches especially TM Nyuk Jet who taught us to eat Dragon Fruit instead of Apple (Because the first one is a local fruit and the second is an imported one)!

In this meeting we strangly had 7 external evaluators from other clubs which was a record in the life of UM TMC. Thanks Ras Hadi for inviting them all. We had 1- ACB, CL Christine Khoo as General Evaluator from MAICSA Toastmasters Club. 2- ACS CL Lai Lain from Delloitte Toastmasters Club. 3- Dr Devi Menon, our UM TMC advisor. 4- Our daddy DTM Vincent Hor from MAICSA Toastmasters Club. 5-DTM Francis Ng from Money Mastery Toastmasters Club. 6- DTM Jessica Liew from MAICSA Toastmasters Club. 7- ACS CL Meyyappa Manickam, the Area B1 Governor.

The role players were:

TM Hui Xin as Time Keeper

After general evaluation being done, CC Deborah gave us the closing speech and then we had a great great birthday cake for both CC Bee Guan and CC Kimmy. Happy Birthday to both of you.
