Dear Friends,

The new exco 2011-2012 has just completed it’s first 4 months into the year and I wanted to provide a quick update in terms of what has been accomplished so far as well as invite feedback and suggestions from club members on how we can improve.

1. We actually started the new term by organizing a Project Day on July 16 with 6 speakers and we had our bitter-sweet moment with Toastmaster Li Dan acting as a TMD for one session which was to be one of the last occasions for many of us to see her before she moved to the USA in her new job. Our VPPR Adinda Praditya also launched our new look web site and we certainly look forward to new updates from him!

We would like to thank speechcraft participants for your participation in our concluding session last Saturday. Of course, this is not the end. You are cordially invited to join us as special guests for our regular Toastmasters meeting this coming Saturday, October 29th at 9 am.

We certainly had a great and fun time and Cheng Kok Beng led off with an Icebreaker which required everyone to relate a joke or interesting story. Our chief trainer DTM Richard Sng then covered the topic “Evaluate to Motivate” and then we had three speeches from our new Toastmasters who joined the Speechcraft workshop. With the theme of evaluation, we then had Terry Teng present a demo speech on Vocal Variety and she held everyone enthralled with her rendition of “My Wedding”. Speecdhcrafters then provided group feedback and evaluation on Terry’s speech.

We enjoyed another learning session on our third workshop session and again we heard some wonderful speeches from all of you. The tentativeness that some of you displayed during your first speeches was transformed into confidence and better speech structure. A number of you also displayed fitting body gestures and vocal variety. Our Toastmaster of the day Terry Teng introduced each session well. Sharanya led off with Table Topics and all speechcrafters participated in the session. DTM Richard Sng followed with the main topic “Working with Words” showing how language is essential for great speeches.

We enjoyed having a great session yesterday October 8 and for many of you, you did your maiden speech admirably. Patrick Sehoo did a recap on Table Topics and conducted a disciplined Table Topics session by having the speakers declare the technique they intended to use. Based on your feedback from the first session, DTM Richard Sng provided a general evaluation of the Table Topics in addition to Language Evaluation, giving useful pointers to the speakers. We then had a very entertaining Andrew Chew cover aspects of Body Language, Vocal Variety and Humor and this was probably the most fun part of the program.

Dear Toastmasters and friends,

I am reminded that it is customary on this, the first day of the new term for the NTUA TMC Exco 2011-2012 to reach out to our members and make them be aware of the new incoming exco as well as highlight plans we will be rolling out in the coming months. But first I would like to express my thoughts for the coming term. To me, it is a great honor to serve and especially for a club such as NTUA Toastmasters Club where we have been a Distinguished President’s Club since 2006. We have many luminaries- our sponsor DTM Richard Sng; our very own DTM Johnny Teo; our Charter President Anand Jude Anthony; Division B Governor Azizah Bte Sapari as well as my mentor and Area B5 Governor Chua Seng Cheong. We also have a champion speaker in Andrew Chew and many other outstanding speakers-our tireless outgoing President Michael Chang, Siaw-Yan and Shahul among others. We are indeed a club that has made waves in the Toastmasters community in District 80.
