Hello Fellow Toastmasters!

I want to say thank you to all that attended today`s Comfortably Speaking Toastmasters' meeting.

Just a little re-cap of what went on:

The theme for today was ``Never, never, never give up!``

We had 15 members in attendance today. We had Odecca, Rafiq, Hamza, Jinky, Saji, Linda, Venkatesh, Nikita, Jocelyn, David, Roshan, Connie, Euna, Peter, Terrence.

We had a great turn out for guests also. They were Judith, Segun, Suha, Melissa, Sukhana (spelling?), Vidya, Shirley, Magee.

We had two speakers:
1. Euna delivered her speech #7 from her Competent Communicator Manual. The title of her speech was "Letting go of Worry". Her time was 5 minutes 27 seconds.

2. Odecca delivered her advanced communicator speech #2. Title of her speech was "Conversation Matters". Her time was 14 minutes and 48 seconds.

Our two evaluators were:

The awards went to:

We didn't have the usual meeting format today since we had our club executive members election. I'd like to make note that we reached quorum of 15 active members for the election today.

The results of our election is below. Please help me to congratulate and welcome our incoming executive members for 2014-2015.

The meeting started a little bit late at 9:20 am, and finished right on time at 11:15am.

We hope to see you on our next CS Toastmasters meeting on May 17.

For those who have taken up roles at the meeting and didn't get evaluated, please bring your CL manuals on May 17 and we will be happy to complete your evaluation for you.

We encourage you all to also sign up for roles and sign up to do your speeches for our upcoming meetings. If you have any questions, please feel free to email any of our executive members.


Have a good weekend everyone!
