Toastmaster Magazine Reading Gathering in August

Michelle was in charge of Toastmaster Magazine Reading Gathering in August. Upon Trini's request, Michelle advanced the reading gathering to this evening. Michelle also advanced the gathering to 5PM, so that golden ladies could go to voice audition for D67 Toastmasters Chorus at 7:30PM.

Many thanks went to Michelle for choosing the secluded Mr. Brown Cafe on the first floor of brand new Aegon building, selecting three articles in July issue, and naming the dress code of STRIPES, even though Michelle didn't make it to our gathering afterall, because she just helped her real-estate developing company close a big deal of 10 million US dollars in Viet-nam. Good for you, Michelle! Go, go, go!

Pamela, Trini, Marian, Linda, and I arrived early. While waiting for others to join us, we couldn't contain our desires to enjoy a summer splash in the a array of fountains in front of the building. What would be a more exciting way to welcome Immediate Past District Governor Marian Hsiao back from her trip to Toastmasters Annual Convention 2009 by getting wet in the sunset with her?

Among three articles to be read, Effective Solutions for Team Conflict by Renee Evenson, page 19; Cultivating Hope by Victor Parachin, page 24; In Times Like These by John Cadley, page 30, we only finished the first, the Rx for productive relationships, especially at the aftermath of the unprecedented 88 flood in southern Taiwan early this month. The one-hour reading gathering was effective and efficient as usual with Marian's valuable experience at International Convention and Trini's exciting tour in Italy.

It's a big evening in District 67, the birth of D67 Toastmasters Chorus. Fourteen toastmasters came to voice parts audition this evening. It is our sincere hope we can organize a singing troupe of 30+ toastmasters from all over Taiwan to excel our vocal skills at the opening ceremony of D67 Fall Convention 2009 at the historic Chungsan Building in National Yangmingshan National Park Saturday afternoon, November 28th, 2009.


What an ambition we embrace, from clogging toastmasters to SINGING toastmasters!
