We had an awesome contest on February 25th! Congrats to our winners Carol for International speech and Nam for Evaluation. Thank you to all the contestants, judges, functionaries for making the contest work! Also, special thanks to Stephen Jones for being test speaker and our friends from Sharpstown, Southwest Speakers and Financially Speaking Toastmaster clubs.
Flora gave a series of speeches on dance, music and architecture to prepare for her upcoming presentation to a landscape architect conference. Kevin told us how to prevent identity theft, a preparation for upcoming workshop. If you've ever wanted to know how to increase your credit score or prevent identity theft for you and your loved ones, you are invited to free workshop at Tracy Gee on March 23! This is a community service project and Kevin is leading the ID theft portion.
On March 25, Helen gave an ice breaker speech, the three turning points of her life, and it turned out to be a very inspiring speech. Nam delivered a speech about leadership styles, he gave us many helpful tips on how to be a successful leader.
We had a variety of table topics, Patrick led a cheerful topic of spring activity, Carol encouraged members to think outside of box, and Stephen talked about aging.
Phil led us an intriguing table topic on good bad or ugly based on current events.
This month we emphasize on how to get rid of crutch words. Ah, um, so, well, and, ok, like …. Are you hooked on filler words? Do you start every other sentence with one? Drop the crutch and learn to let go of the "ahs" and the "ums" with these 4 tips!
1. Embrace the Pause, 2. Slow Down, 3. Know Your Point, 4. Practice.

長春會2019年度三月份月會已經在3/2/2019(星期六) 2:30pm - 4:30pm 圓滿的在台灣人活動中心舉行完畢◦ 此次月會我們邀請到理事林三江先生,他是德州註冊藥劑師,為大家演講的題目是“ 與’磷’共舞 “ ◦ 林博士說我們人體中的鈣和磷,兩者在人體間的分量有微妙關係,並且要互相取得平衡,才有互補作用,缺一不可。此次演講的要點是呼籲大家平常就要多吃新鮮的蔬菜水果,儘量要少吃那些複製品。會員們都非常踴躍參與而且大家都很注意聽講,覺得受益良多。日後我們有機會,會再次請林博士回來為大家作更多更廣泛的演講,感謝!

台灣人活動中心特別公告
-
台灣人活動中心從10月1日開始,每個星期日下午 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm已經正式開放給同鄉們使用◦ 現在已經有不少同鄕們週日下午到活動中心來,或者在大廳唱唱歌、打打乒乓球、或到後面撞撞球、或靜靜地在圖書室看看書報◦ 安安靜靜地做你喜歡做的事情,渡過美好且有意義的星期假日,希望同鄕們能夠把握機會,善加利用◦
-
活動中心理事會在 3/9/19 (星期六) 經過討論後,對於中心平頂屋頂的維修工程,在會中初步有共識表決後,原則上會由低標JH Roofing Inc.來執行,但仍然要求他們能夠把工程將用的材料和施工方法儘量列出愈完善愈好,並煩請由前台灣的施工專家,王吉盛先生審查通過後,再提交由基金會理事會再做最後的討論表決後實施◦ 依照目前的交涉進度及相關作業,也為了避開 4/20/19 的”台灣夜市”活動,所以目前看來我們可能會在五月中旬完成屋頂翻修工程◦
-
