Merry Christmas to Linda & Sharon

I saw the growth of Helen in Toastmasters, from a hardworking single lady, to a happy married woman, to a contented mother of twin daughters, Linda & Sharon, born in November 2010. Toastmaster Helen Lin was born in 1975, the year Grand
Toastmasters Club was founded.

Being excited to hold Linda & Sharon in my arms for the first time on Christmas Day 2010 like a proud grandmother, I looked at the cute fraternal twin girls and prayed that in 18 years, they will grow up to be two outstanding Toastmasters, like their mother and father. I look forward to seeing Linda & Sharon grow up in the positive and supportive learning environment in Toastmasters.

Toastmasters Helen Lin and Talun Sung joined Grand Toastmasters Club in 2003 respectively. Talun proposed to Helen in front of the Granders in 2004. They joined hands together to organize Grand’s glorious 30th anniversary party in 2005, when Helen was the Club President of Grand Toastmasters Club.

On Christmas Day 2010, six Granders paid a visit to newly born Linda & Sharon. Helen’s face was beamed with the pride of mother of two. She talked about stories about her pregnancy, her delivery, her breast feeding, the daily biological activities of Linda & Sharon. Jimmy talked about his grown-up twin sons. I was all ears, because I didn’t have children to talk about. Erin, Carrie, Judy, and Tiffany were waiting in line to have their baby Toastmasters in the future.

In the evening, Toastmaster Angela Huang and I saw a Peking Opera at Chung-shan Hall. I was mesmerized by the performance of Chuncao Intrudes Court by Fu-kien Opera House founded in 1948. They have the first class national directors, singing actors, actresses, and the percussion masters. After the show, I was interviewed by the Fukien Television by accident. I told the TV anchor that I enjoyed the repertoire, the performance, the singing, the accompanying orchestra. Chinese Opera will definitely become the major artistic genre with many outstanding young talents in China.
