Meeting no: 160

Theme : Halloween

Word of the day : Horrendous

Last meeting was a Halloween Themed, nobody dressed up but members had a high spirit of Halloween. Beside Halloween there was another special event occurred in UM TMC, Induction Ceremony for New Members. The Toastmasters 'induction ceremony' is a little bit like a marriage, where the new members confirm their intention to be active members, and the old members confirm their willingness to help the new members. 

The Toastmaster of the Evening was none other than our very own TM Nicholas Chai. With his winning smile he welcome everyone and started the meeting.
