A Meeting With Suprise

Here comes 5th November 2009 , a day for all MEF members to gather again and grow. We were surprised to have Distinguish Toastmaster and also Immediate Past Division S Governor Charles Tan visiting us for the first time!!! As a DTM, he gave us a lot of encouragement and motivation. Definitely, we learnt a lot from him.

In this meeting, it was very interesting to have a theme about "Halloween". TM Judy, the TOE for the first time asked everyone of us to introduce ourself and asked us to imagine the type of sttire we would like to dress in if we were to go to a Halloween party.. Wow.... our DTM would not want to be other than a man with black suit,imitating a lawyer... Simple yet extraordinary, right? A great warm up for the brain to be imaginative...

Want to know what else we did for this meeting?? Scroll down to know more, as the saying goes "Picture Paints a Thousand Words."







IPP YS Lee shared some messages about the President Distinguished Club award where under his leadership, MEF achieved 9 DCP goals. We are hoping that in this new term, MEf will have the same or better achievement. Yes, we believe we can!!!!!!!!

Dinner Gathering 291009

Toastmasters provide not only a platform to learn communication and leadership skill but it is also a platform for people to build friendship.

In order to strengthen the bond among the members as well as regular guest and visiting toastmasters from other club, a dinner was organized by VPPR, TM Peijun on 29th October 2009 in Tambun Restaurant where nice seafood was served.

A total of 19 people joined this dinner. Beside of MEF club members, there were members from Seberang Jaya TMC & Butterworth TMC join in too. We have also friends which is very close to MEF join us as well.

Some members continue the event by going for some beer time after dinner and it was a wonderful moment for all members.
