Keynotes for the meeting 14/3/2011
Dear Members and Guests,
Truly, Really and Truthfully
14/3/2011 meeting was truly magnificent. We had a very interesting and rewarding meeting. The Toastmaster of the Evening, Laychi Low did a fabulous job. She kept the meeting moving at an exciting pace. In spite of the fact that she had a switch what was originally a speech Marathon to the regular meeting with Table Topics and Invocation at the eleventh hour.
Anyone lesser would have flipped out but not Laychi Low. She was the cool, composed and eloquent emcee that night. She was quick to thank VPE Emily for her treasure box filled with table topics and Joanne Gam for graciously accepting the role of Table Topics Master within short notice.
Really, we always hear from new members requesting for easy roles such as Timer and Ah Counter. ladies, did you know that the roles of Ah Counter and Timer have been understated. They are by no means easy roles. The two roles required skill and attitude. To those taking these roles need to have good listening skills, give 100% attention and concentration throughout the duration of meeting. Their importance cannot be overstated. Imagine having a toastmasters meeting without a Timer. chances are we will be running off the schedule because competent communicators and advanced communicators have licences to talk and they love to speak. Some would linger on the stage even when the red light went on and the bell was sounded.
Almost imagine a meeting without an Ah Counter we would all have a Carter Blanche to inject speech crutches at liberty.
Truthfully, these two roles are most difficult and tedious. An Ah Counter has to be very attentive, listen every string of words. Timer is equally important, without a timer the meeting may drag on till midnight. These very words came out the General Evaluator DTM Parames, a very experienced Toastmasters and the current District 51 Secretary.
My Sincere thanks also go to all our wonderful members and role players. Timer Christine Lum CC, Ah Counter Tammy Lim, TM, TME Laychi Low, ACG, Grammarian Serene Ting, SAA and T/T Master Joan Gam TM, T/T Evaluator Emily Bong.
