The JB City Toastmasters Club's 206th meeting held on 23rd February 2009 at Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru was yet another fantastic meeting. The meeting was well attended with 17 members, 8 guests & 1 visiting toastmaster.
I was puzzled when TME ACS Rama invited VPE CC Nancy Kwan to the lectern to deliver the opening address even with the presence of our President CC Mohd. Dzulhairy. Later I realised that it was pre-arranged by our President. His intention was to train the potential President. I totally agreed with Mr. President and applauded him for his effort to train and give opportunity to his successor. Kudos to Mr. President!
VPE Nancy Kwan, CC opening address was inspirational and motivating. She urged all of us to stay TOGETHER and be UNITED! As the VPE, it is her duty to ensure that members achieve their educational goals. The Club is doing very well! She said we are like in reality show, whatever we are doing now is for real! Toastmasters Club is the best platform for us to practice the "gift of the gap", sharpen our skills by taking part in speech contests, work together and support each other and become the leader that we want to be!
