Highlights from October Meeting

The 147^thMeeting  October 17,2020

Today’s Guest : Tm RB from Singapore, Marine Parada Club

 Toastmaster of the Day: A.S.  

 The ongoing issue with the coronavirus and its effect on our members has been

a big challenge. We are trying to make every online meeting enjoyable,

creative and heart- warming-- even though we are confined to boxes on a computer screen.

Today’s meeting started with asking everyone “ What was your happiest moment this month”?

We found out that two members celebrated their birthday this month! Congrats to RA and RH!

Wishing you the best!  Tm JC, who joins us on Zoom from Okinawa,  announced the publication of his new book on Political Science! Tm TF met his grandsons for the first time since February! Tm EI found a new divine Bakery in Nishinomiya!  Tm FT was able to play volleyball with her team for the first time in months!

  The first speech was an Ice Breaker entitled” My Special Dots “ by Tm MK.  It is the first speech in the Educational Program.  Tm MK highlighted his speech by including a personal story about how he  was able to build a trusting relationship amongst his collegues when he started his new job in London. We all love to hear stories.  What a wonderful technique to capture the audience!  I admire his ambitiousness!

 The second presentation was from guest speaker Tm R K B. , President of Marine Parade Toastmasters Club in Singapore.  Her speech was based upon Project 5, High Performance Leadership(2). The objective of the speech was to implement a plan to complete a mission.  Standing in front of the camera, she used the small space around her, moving side to side and back and forth.  Her delivery skills were powerful and she captured the audience to the end.  I admire her enthusiasm.     The third speaker, Tm EI,   gave an Icebreaker entitled, Love What I Do.     Now I know what kind of work she does and how much she enjoys her job.   Judging on her power point presentation, Toastmasters has helped her build her confidence and organization skills.  She’s a busy professional, busy mother and busy Toastmaster. I admire her diligence! 

Always exciting to meet new people! Next meeting :148^th  Meeting
