Toastmasters Meetings and Detail

Dear members and readers,

Please be informed that our Club meeting will now be scheduled on the 1st and 3rd Friday. As such, our meeting in December will be on the 5th and 19th December.

And guys, please remember, we have also changed the venue. Kindly refer to previous posting for the address.


Thank you.....see you in the next meeting.

Change

We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance. Well that's what Harrison Ford once said. True enough, change is inevitable in our lives. If not for change, things will not stay the way they are. The only constant thing in our live is change.

Thus, it is for the progress of our club that the Vistana Toastmasters have been changed to Kuantan Toastmasters starting from November 2008. There is no need for further explanation, suffice to say that the Exco members feel that Kuantan is the best reflection of our club. Vistana will always be a part of our club's history, as it gives the foundation to be where we are today.

And now, to conquer the challenges ahead, let's pray for our Club's success!

"They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom." ~Confucius

Change For Better

As we are celebrating our 84th anniversary of Toastmasters International on the month of October, we at Vistana Toastmasters will embark our new chapter in another new place. 31 Oct 2008, a historic day for Vistana Toastmasters Club. Today we are having our Toastmasters meeting at our new venue at Pahang Ceylonese Club. Inline with our theme of that evening “Change for the better”, we also were inform by our Mdm. President TM Sarimah about the change of our club name. Effective Nov 2008 the club Exco decided to change our club name to Kuantan Toastmasters Club. Truly a big change for us.

It was a great start for us having 7 guests on that memorable evening. We have four guests from Hong Leong group consist of Dennis, Aaron Tee, Mr Lim and Danny. We also have Su Chin @ Susi from P&G, Mr Adnan, a retiree and Amidah, our regular guest. During the Table Topic session four of our guest participates as Table Topic speakers conducted by our President TM Sarimah. It was a well receive session as most of the guest attempted this session for the first time. Well done to all the Table Topic speakers on that evening for a splendid performance especially Aaron Tee who pick up the Best Guest Table Topic speaker. Thumb up for Table Topic Master Sarimah for motivate the Table Topic speakers to “Open their mouth”

In the second part of our meeting, we have 3 assignment speakers who attempted their communication manual. They are TM Fong Siew Ching who is doing her Ice Breaker entitle “Autobiography”. It was a short and sweet Ice Breaker by Siew Ching who share with us her background and why she being a Toastmasters. Later, two of our club leaders share with us their Project 8: Get comfortable with visual aids. TM Pohlin with her speech title “Garbage Enzyme, The savoir” and TM Sarimah with “Cheap but Good”. What can I say about their performance is “Magnificent”, ‘Truly a great speech”. I should bring a video recorded to capture their excellent speech.

During the evaluation session, all the speakers have been point out their strong point and room for improvements. Above all I feel the members and guests have enjoy the meeting and is good to known two of our guest Amidah and Mr. Adnan is going to be apart of Kuantan Toastmasters club soon. A big thank you to all the role players and speakers that make the meeting a success and memorable. To sum up, I must say thank you to Pahang Ceylonese Club for renting us a good and comfortable meeting place for us to continue our Toastmasters aspiration.


P.S. Thanks to Gunedran for recommend this new venue to us.

Courage to Make a Difference


Your TME,
