A Night of Financial Crisis and YLP Marketing

Extol Toastmasters had its First Adv. Communication Meeting last night. We had a lot of guests during the evening, including the adorable Shu May, daughter of TM LF Chan, and Shu Mei, the adorable daughter of speaker then-CTM-now-ACB Wong Piang Yow.

Time flew as ACB Wong Piang Yow got the audience rapt in a game of financial strategy. It created an interesting opening to his talk on the impending Financial Crisis.

If a Financial Crisis coming within 5 years time didn't excite the audience, the following evaluation sure did the job. Our invited evaluators CTM Arthur Lai, (in house) DTM SK(ewer) Ratnam, and ACS ALB Soh Fong Wai, as well as the audience gave salvos after salvos of Crisis evaluation to our dear speaker.







After the exciting evaluation, TME Gerard "Pastor Lim" Tan allowed ACB Chuck to spread the word and to preach to the audience the upcoming Youth Leadership Programme.

After the sales talk, Chuck weathered some questions from the audience before the dynamite dynamic evaluation team picked their way through. Chuck was evaluated by CTM Arthur, ACS ALB Soh, and ATMG David Ann(pronounced "Ahn" as in Aunt). Again, our audience also took part in the grilling.

The faces and response of the audience, evaluators, and speakers showed that our first ACM was nothing short of a success. This ACM is a workable programme that can enhance our members speaking and organization skills. I am looking forward to our next ACM already!

Sojourn: Shaklee Dynamics Toastmasters

CC Wong Piang Yow and I visited SD Toastmasters today. As their IPP B.H. Gan (a.k.a Big, Handsome Gun) had said it,"It is a small but high quality crowd." The meeting was quite energetic and well-run despite the sparse audience.

CC Wong presented the 5th assignment of his professionally speaking series project and he managed to "wow" the crowd with the prophecy of the impending economic crisis.

We're back~!
