"Speaking After Dinner" & "Membership Participation Contest" - December 17, 2009

Hello Fellow British Toastmasters,

Can't believe it is already the last month of 2009. I am already counting down to my Christmas break that is coming up in 2 weeks. Yupppieee....

Just want to remind you all once again to SAVE THE DATE for Thursday, December 17, 2009. Our club will be holding a special meeting that is slightly different from the ordinary. It will be a "Speaking After Dinner" meeting. The venue will be off MAC. Most likely it will be at the Grand Indonesia / Plaza Indonesia and vicinity. Somewhere there, for sure.

If any of you is interested to assist organizing this Dec 17 special meeting, please contact me directly at 0813 8076 9959 or cindyresita@gmail.com. Any help...any crazy, weird, fun ideas...will be very welcome!

On top of that, we are holding a Membership Participation Contest for this special meeting. There are 2 purposes of holding this contest. First is to invite all members of British Toastmasters Club to get involved in meeting planning and preparation. Many of you must have many fun, unique, extraordinary ideas that can be implemented to make our meeting more interesting, more enticing, and more educating. Therefore, for the first part of the contest, we will be choosing for:

• The 3 Best Meeting Theme ideas (and how these themes should be implemented) --- winning themes will be used for our next meetings in 2010
• The 3 Best, Most Creative Table Topic ideas --- these ideas will be implemented in our next meetings in 2010

The second purpose of this Membership Participation Contest is to give recognition and public appreciation to some of our fellow Toastmasters who have shown and proven their hard-work, dedication, and commitment to the Toastmasters program in general and to our club in particular. Therefore, for the second part of the contest, we will be choosing for:

1. Most Improved Speaker (Club member we think has improved the most in communication skill)
   
2. Most Dependable Toastmaster (Club member we think is the most reliable in doing assigned jobs and will happily take on a last minute task when needed)
3. Step-Up Toastmaster (Club Member recognized for his/her effort to "step-up" and fill any needed roles without warning or preparation)

I will be sending the on-line survey ballot for this Membership Participation Contest by tomorrow, Thursday, December 3, 2009. You may cast your vote and ideas until the survey is closed on Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Our team of judges consist of all the British Toastmasters Club Executive Committee (Indri - President, Cindy - VPE, Lola - VPM, Steve - VPR, Shabrina - SAA, Mike - Past Immediate President). As such, these people are not eligible either to cast their votes and ideas, OR to be voted for.

Thank you, Everyone! Please let me know if you you have any questions or comments about this special meeting or about the Membership Participation Contest.

Hope to see you all on British Toastmasters Club next meeting on Thursday, December 10, 2009.
