中壢英語國際演講會 Chungli Toastmasters Club

The weather was nice, not too cold, nor too hot. It's a perfect weather for a TM meeting.

Tonight our TME Albert announced that the meeting theme was "simplicity", he brought us a different style of the meeting. He used less than 10 words to introduce every assignment taker, and speaker. We learned that "treasure our words, to be more precise and accurate about what we said.

It was cold, drizzling. And it's Valentine's Day and Lantern Festival. A group of passionate Toastmasters, we, Chungli Toastmasters Club were having an unusual regular meeting.

Our EVP managed to produce a "creative" agenda with an unusual TM meeting style. It was a super relax dinner meeting. In this BIG day, we managed to have fun, to have foods on the table, while we were able to learn something.

It was a comfortable night; it was neither hot nor chilly. But where’s everybody? The meeting started late.

President Gary gave us a good thought, he talked about it’s close to the end of year, what else we haven’t accomplished in terms of our new year’s resolutions in the beginning of the year. Toastmaster of the evening was still Emily, our beloved Division E governor, she demonstrated the spirit of service by serving as TME in 2 consecutive meetings. Two important helpers of the meeting were Charlie, our new member, he served as a Timer; Griffy, a new father, served as an Ah-counter.

After that we had a warm-up session, it was led by our EVP Jason. In this warm-up session, we played a word guessing game. We learned some Xmas vocabularies in this game too. Such as sleigh, Virgin Maria...

 After President Gary’s warm welcome, Ilona hosted the meeting. It was her second time to be a Toastmaster of the Evening. First session was a warm up session, hosted by Terry, our PRVP, who just organized a successful event—Division E outing. He played a game, when we guessed the correct word, and we could get the chance to draw a piece of paper from a paper bag, the paper would show the winning points. At the end of the game, team A beat up team B. It was indeed an interesting and exciting game.

The atmosphere was a little bit of frozen, nervous, and even a little bit serious. The venue was unusually quiet(what? Chungli club was quiet??). Yet, we couldn’t take our eyes from those sparkling stars…. We saw stars were everywhere in the venue….. So many stars were in our in-house contest on Sept 13. It feasted not only for the eyes….but for the ears. The superstar of the night was Caroline the Lt. Governor Marketing from District officer team, who received DTM in 3 years and 3 months. Wow, we were lucky to have her to be the Chief Judge in this in-house contest.  

Hello fellow members and welcome guests,
