Joint District 67 & District 76 Year-end Party

It's been a tradition for some time that District 67 & District 76 holds Year-end joint meeting in Japanese in Taipei.

Six Japanese toastmasters, including Kiichiro Saito, Noriyuki Kobori, Kozue Sakai, Katsimpro Toyomichi, Mayumi Uchizawa, Kazumasa umemoto flew to Taipei to participate in the last meeting of Pacicific Toastmasters Club Saturday afternoon, December 20th.

Year 2014 was special. Toastmasters from Central Toastmasters Club in Taichung, Toastmasters from Success Toastmasters Club in Taoyuan also joined the year-end gathering.

At the dinner party at Santos Hotel, I joined a group to sing and perform a children song "The Sound of Music" in Japanese. It would be awesome if we can sing the song in three different languages (Japanese, English, Chinese) at District 67 Spring Conference 2015 in Taipei.

どれみの歌 　ペギー葉山版

ドはドーナツのド
レはレモンのレ 
ミはみんなの ミ
ファはファイトのファ
ソは青い空
ラはラッパのラ
シは幸せよ
さぁ歌いましょう

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow so
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do, oh oh oh

Do 唱歌兒快樂多
Re 就忘記眼淚
Mi 你真是太甜蜜
Fa 我有個辦法
So 我有話對你說
La 把煩惱拋開啦
Si 我對你笑嘻嘻
唱起歌來快樂多


On Sunday, I joined a few Toastmasters to pray for the health of Toastmaster yoshihito Watanabe at Lungshanoon. Toastmaster Yoshihito Watanaba has visited Taipei twice a year for the past ten consecutive years. We wish Toastmaster Watanabe can get well and visit Taipei soon with his family..
