The Executive Committee Elections was successfully completed last evening. It was chaired by President Yeo Poh Lian with the presence of ITE Toastmasters.
Congratulations to Theresa Groyon, CC . It was a triple joy for her. Firstly, she was elected as the President Elect for the 2007/08 Toastmasters Session. [The final Exco. list will be announced soon.] Secondly, she completed her 10th prepared speech, qualifying for the Competent Communicator Award and finally, she won the best prepared speech of the evening with her Inspirational speech "Get A Life". Where she inspires the audience by asking "Why are we here?" and uses acronym "LIFE" to show how we can get a life by representing it with Leading our life right; Influencing others with a purpose; Family touching on prioritizing be it community, clubs or organization; and Excellence in the way we does things.
Meanwhile, another Toastmaster, Andrew Goh has also completed his Competent Communicator Manual. He did his speech project 10, Inspire Your Audience, titled "Your Point of View" to qualify for the Competent Communicator as well. Andrew (on your left in picture) uses stories (2 Rabbits; 2 Mice) to inspire the audience on his message. Sitting beside him in the picture above is Michael Tang who was the first time visitor from Alumni to visit the club.
Our heartiest congratulations also to competent leader Tan Kay Teck, who achieved the Advanced Communicator Bronze by completing his 10th advanced project "2 Mins Speech That Change The World!" see next paragraph on the 2 mins speech by Abraham Lincoln Gettyburg's Address. It was special because he is ITE Toastmasters Club's first Advanced Communicator."Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
The fourth prepared speech speaker was Velkumar. He spoke on "Global Warming" for his 9th speech, Persuade with Power. And he has one more project to go to be the next Competent Communicator. Work hard Vel!
Edmund Chew DTM, together with Chung King CC, Poh Lian CL and visiting Toastmaster Anthony Chow CL, ATM-S did a great job by evaluating the prepared speech speakers. Edmund received his Best Evaluator award from President (see picture).
