Renewal

The first meeting on 13th July 2009 for the new term of 2009/2010 under President Rosslin Peter Rosen was themed RENEWAL. We renewed our promises, our commitments and our pledges to improve ourselves in communication and leadership skills.

The meeting started off with dinner, nasi lemak. Invocator Datin Betty Hiew then shared her thoughts of the evening.

President Rosslin later addressed the members. She thanked members for their support and confidence in her in leading the club. She hoped that everybody would renew their commitment to the club as well as to themselves.

President Rosslin also announced some coming activities which are:

1. Tawau Mandarin Toastmasters Club Installation on 18th July 2009,

2. Sandakan Toastmasters Club Installation also on 18th July 2009

3. Our own Tawau Toastmasters Club Installation on 2nd August 2009

4. First Executive Committee Meeting on 15th July 2009

Elizabeth Goh's dream came true when she was able to be the first Toastmaster of The Evening (TME) for the new term.

The TME started off by inviting Datin Betty Hiew to coach the members on Poco Poco dance. It was in preparation for the coming Club installation which has chosen Poco Poco as the theme for the evening.

A very supportive member of the Club, Hew Kim Foong has contributed a collar microphone for the Club use. The microphone set was presented on her behalf by Vera Yap to President Rosslin. Thank you, Kim Foong.

Grace Yong took the role as Table Topics Master and managed to get almost everyone to speak on various topics.

Lynda Lee took the challenge to evaluate the Table Topics session for the first time. More to come!

The evening also saw the birthday celebration of Vice President Education Lynda Lee and Gorgonia Koh. Happy Birthday!

After singing the birthday song, everyone was all smiles for a photo session.

Newly installed Area K2 Governor, Eleanor Fabia Pang, made her first offical Club Visit and conducted the Club Officers Training (COT) as well. Club officers did not attend the recently concluded Division K TLI in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

The one and only manual speech speaker Lee Chye Ewe, spoke on SMS.
