We will be having our Members Nite Christmas mixer on Tuesday, 15 December, 6.40 pm at Chijmes - Hog’s Breath Cafe. All Toastmasters and guests are welcome to join us.
Dinner is Pay-as-you-go. Price ranges from $20-25 per pax.
There will be a Special Table Topics session on the theme of ‘Holiday’ and ‘Family’ as well as entertainment acts performed by some members.
Hosted by Toastmaster of the Evening, Wang Ting Ting, the meeting was certainly not in a state of platitude. Table Topics Master, Manoj Vasudevan had us thinking about ‘Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?’ and ‘Is Santa Claus a communist?’
Winners for the evening:
Table topics: Ernest Chen
Prepared Speech: Leow Sue Yen
Evaluator: Ng Cher Khim
For the first time, we had a general evaluator at our chapter meeting. We would like to thank Bruno Pereira, DTM for performing the general evaluation as well as Leela Kalwani, CC CL who graced our meeting as guest evaluator.
