ACM #39 - Summary

Greetings Fellow ACMers and Friends,

ACM #39 (29 September 2009) was truly incredible, not only we had a filled role player roster but we had 9 'unregistered' guest, which gives us a total attendance of 25 people. Our gracious host ACG Lee Wei Seong had the foresight of this turn out and had gotten us a bigger room; even that was filled to the brim. THANK YOU WEI SEONG !!!

Our Facilitator from KL Advanced Toastmasters Club, ACG Bill SIM was remarkable. Being a first timer to ACM, he conducted the meeting with poise and professionalism. He provided valuable feedback & demonstrated examples to our three Speakers. The meeting completed ahead of schedule!

We had two first time assignment Speakers (in ACM), namely GAN Poh Lin (Kuantan Toastmasters) and LEE Xi Wen (TTDI, MBTC) who so happen to present their speeches from the same advanced manual, namely the "Speaking To Inform" manual. It gave the audience a new perspective to evaluation when they were able to compare the speeches and evaluation between Project #1: Speech To Inform and Project #3: The Demonstration Speech. Our veteran GAN Teong Hock (DUTM, MBTC) also entertained us with his "Resources for Entertainment" by sharing with us how important results are that was illustrated with three wonderful stories.

The Panel of Evaluators & Lead Evaluators were diligent in executing their duties. All of them were concise, constructive and composed. Un-intentionally, I didn't realize that I've selected the D'Utama Presidents Team for the 3rd Speaker's Evaluators; Nancy LIEW (Past President), Marcus LOI (VPE - 'Incoming President?' … hehehe), TEOH Chun Ming (current President), and the Lead Evaluator, LEE Wei Seong (also Past President).

I wish to extend my thanks to the other Panel Evaluators; Janice LEE (TTDI), Richard YEOW (CIMA), CHEONG Kuok Sum (TTDI), and Lead Evaluators; SOH Fong Wai (DUTM, KBTM, MBTM) & Ernest WONG (HELP, Pidato KL). I wish to extend my thanks to LIM Hui Shan and Jess FOONG (both from Unitar Toastmasters Club) who extended their help at the 11th hour to be a Time Keeper and Panel Evaluator respectively.

I personally had a wonderful time and as mentioned during short final message for the day … "No Registration … No Seat for You!! (hehee ...)"

The date for ACM #40 has yet to be finalized. Keep checking the D'Utama (www.dutm.org) or Division B (www.divisionb.blogspot.com) for updates.

Cheers,

[Appreciation] Division B Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest‏

Fellow Toastmasters and Leaders,

Thank you for your fullest and loving support of the Division B Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest! Although it was during the Raya Season when many of us are having our holidays, the turnout for the event was still huge. Thank you for making the effort and time to support the contestants, I'm sure they appreciated your applause and whistles!

Many thanks to the role-players who performed their respective duties to the best of their abilities. We started on time, and we concluded the event by 4.30pm, 30-minutes AHEAD OF SCHEDULE! BRAVO!

Many thanks to our District-51 Governor, DTM Ritchie and his team for gracing our event. We truly appreciate your support, as well as your charisma during the contest.

Congratulations to our CHAMPIONS OF DIVISION B:

Humorous Speech Contest

Johnson Yike (Champion)

Dennis Wee (1st Runner-up)

Evaluation Contest

Sharmini Helen (Champion)

Lim Lay Kun (1st Runner-up)

Johnson Yike (2nd Runner-up)

The Champions will all be at the Genting Semi-annual Convention, where they will contest against other Divisions in District-51 for the District Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest.

As many of you already know through my opening speech, the main event that inspired me to join Toastmasters was a Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest in 2006. I hope that after witnessing the CHAMPIONS perform, you will not only be inspired to join Toastmasters (if you're not a member yet), but also be inspired to DISCOVER THE CHAMPION WITHIN YOU!

See you at the Genting Semi-annual Convention on 23rd October!

Loving regards,

Julian Gan, ACB/ALB
