The biggest event of the month is December 3rd open house. The purpose of open house is for our guests to learn about Toastmaster program, therefore, we had a demo meeting that start with a prepared speech, then table topic, and evaluation. Thanks to Rhonda Reeves for giving a wonderful speech, “Meant to Be”. Phil led a topics session on the holidays and gave our guests a taste of the Toastmaster experience.
After intermission, we had a totally awesome time to talk about ‘what Toastmaster means to me’. Here are some highlights. Tony said, Toastmaster is a group of good quality people, and mentor program is most valuable. Phil said, Toastmaster Training allows you to make mistake and learn from it. Nam said, because of Toastmaster training, he is able to turn a hour of rambles to a 2-minutes meaningful talk. Stephen said, Toastmaster offers the best leadership training program and the best camaraderie you can’t find elsewhere. Linh said, Toastmasters help others without asking for return, and Toastmaster brings the best of us. Marshall said, Toastmaster enables him to get out of his shell to improve himself, gives him voice and continue to grow. Carol said, Toastmaster is one of the best things she ever joined, Toastmaster is her desired lifestyle, Toastmaster helps her in every step she advanced.
We had an amazing open house with16 guests! Special thanks to Carol, Angela Luk, Stephen, Phil and all our members who worked hard to put this together and invite guests. We also celebrated Kevin and Stephen achieving their Distinguished Toastmaster awards. ——-Congratulations to Kevin and Stephen!!
On December 10th, Carol had a special presentation on “How to Conduct Productive Meeting”, she gave many helpful tips. She emphasized the importance of conducting meetings by valuing and making best use of everyone's time. Kevin led a fun topic session on Christmas gifts and our unfinished new year's resolutions. We had two guests, Amos and Emily. Amos won best topic with his strong belief that toilet paper does indeed make a practical Christmas gift. The word of year selected by Oxford is ‘Toxic’, this meeting was wonderfully non-toxic!
