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.
