Toastmaster mentoring benefits both mentor and protege, and the relationship is mutually beneficial. A mentor is to give constructive guidance, ask questions to identify protege’s need, and sometimes may simply listen to his or her thoughts and frustration and help create positive outcomes. Also, providing nonjudgmental support is crucial to mentor-protege relationship. As a mentor, you need to respect difference and focus on similarities, respect protege’s unique experience and background in order to build a well-balanced partnership. Mentoring can be challenging, and this totally awesome club goes extra miles. Our club is not only assigning a mentor to a new toastmaster, but also the whole club helps to mentor new comers. During meetings, we have group evaluation, and answer questions. Outside of meetings, we have means to communicate, to share information and knowledge with fellow members at all levels of experience.
Here are meeting highlights: On July 29, Sherry gave a speech on effective evaluation and it really helps our new toastmasters to improve their evaluation skills. This speech earned her a ACG award! Helen talked about Acupressure massage and how it benefits our health. What a totally awesome meeting on August 4th, it was anything but insipid! We had FIVE guests! Club president Lorrine spoke on how to conduct productive meetings, thus achieving her Advanced Communicator Gold! Sunny gave a fun social speech praising our Totally Awesome club. Sherry led a topics session on charity and all guests had opportunity to speak.
On August 12, we had a beautiful mongo cake to celebrate Lorrine’s birthday. Linda spoke about how to prevent car burglaries and Nam shared stories about how the majority may not always be right. Carol led a fun topic session on class reunions. Thanks again to Stephen for picking another good watermelon! On August 19, Carol emphasized the importance of mentoring in toastmaster, Phil encourages members to serve as club officers, because we can’t spell Awesome without me. Stephen led a fun topic by asking varies questions of personal preferences.
**** We meet on every Monday 7:30pm at Taiwanese Center. Check us out online at on Facebook @TACLtoastmasters or www.TACLclub.toastmastersclubs.org

台灣人活動中心特別公告

台灣人活動中心前面櫃台的 camera monitor security system 已經老舊而且有些部分發生故障。為了能夠繼續不斷的錄製記載,且為了安全的考量,基金會已經决定要換成全新的系統。與前任基金會理事長蕭文源研究討論過,發現換全新解析度較高的鏡頭,價格不算太貴且合理。目前,我們最迫切的是要找到能夠在天花板裡面會拉線路的技工,因為天花板裡面線路很亂,也需要花一點時間來解決。這是我們目前面臨的課題,還有我們也需要重新安置缐路的材料、數量、和長度。我們很感謝長期貢獻社區的郭正泉師兄,他剛好有些庫存的缐路,可以捐出來讓活動中心來使用。而同鄕會副會長,台聲合唱團現任團長王慶隆也將提供拉缐的服務。我們很慶幸活動中心有一群義工們,都是默默的付出,非常感謝! 相信不久的將來,我們就會有全新的維安系統了。

台灣人活動中心,是否如去年繼續舉辦乒乓球比賽? 現在已經請游福華老師事前做些策劃,先調查現在正在打乒乓球的球員們,有沒有意願參加比賽嗎? 也把乒乓球比賽規則和比賽項目細節部份都先訂定清清楚楚的,以利比賽能順利進行,請大家拭目以待。謝謝!
