First Meeting of 2010
Happy New Year!!
14 January 2010 was the first ever meeting in the year 2010 and the turn up was promising for us to believe that this year will be another year just like before.
We had TM Chong Chan Yau as the TME and there were 2 guests who enjoyed the meeting and one of them has decided to sign up! Hooray! Our new member is Sylvester Tan who also won the best speaker for the table topic session.
Aside from the routine roles and sessions, we had 5 speakers on that night and our club has achieved another 2 DCP goals when CL Ling How Kee presented his second presentation for ALB and Datin Grace also presented her second presentation to complete her ACS. Bravo to both of them!
The birthday baby for January is our lovely Mdm. President Amy Hiew where we have a very delicious kiwi cheesecake to celebrate for her. Everyone loved the cake!
I'll leave you with some photos for your viewing pleasure.
The next meeting is on 28 January 2010, hope to see you then!

Times like this...
There were only 12 members attended the meeting last night (10 Dec 2009) because it's holiday season and most of the members have already turned on their holiday mode. Therefore, meetings during year end or beginning of the year will normally attended by less members and guests.
However, 12 members are always better than none and we have 5 speakers last night. Our Mdm. President Amy Hiew even completed her 10th Competent Communicator manual project to help us kill some time and to earn 0.5 goal, in the impromptu way. *bravo* She also bought a very nice cheesecake from Secret Recipe to share with us, everyone loved it.
Our humor session was actually a speech by TM Vanessa because she has so many funny stories about her helper at home and all of us laughed our hearts out and asked for more. Unfortunately, she was only allowed to speak for 5-7 minutes for a CC manual speech, we told her to do a part 2, just like what TM Jimmy did for his 7th CC manual speech about the benefits of coffee (part 2). Not a bad idea to do speeches, in this case, we will run out of topic or don't know what to talk about.
Not to forget that TM Alex who grabbed this opportunity to present his CC manual speech during his long holiday break and he gained plenty of confidence talking about the skills needed to speak publicly. I think he absorbed the skills while preparing for the speech, bravo to him too! Nonetheless, our VPM CL Ling also completed his ACB 9, which means we are one step nearer to achieve another goal! We look forward to his next speech.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all that our next meeting which falls on 24 December has been canceled due to it's a Christmas Eve and almost everybody will be busy on that night. So the next meeting will be on 14 Jan 2010.
Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2010!
