D67 Female Vocals in Place

What a happy singing gathering of D67 female vocals at Grand Toastmasters Club this evening. Ten Toastmasters singers went through two songs to be performed at D67 Spring Conference Party 2011, Saturday evening, April 23rd. Everybody was full of excitements to participate in the special singing event to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Republic of China.

Looking back at D67 Chorus debut performance at the D67 Fall Conference Dinner Party 2009 Saturday evening, November 28th, we are proud with our achievement to increase the number of singing toastmasters in D67, from 20 singing Toastmasters in 2009, to 30 female Toastmasters members in 2011. What an amazing record we made for District 67!

Even though we didn't have much time to rehearse the entire two songs in two parts comprehensively this evening, all singers practiced diligently with the Toastmasters members of their parts, all singers agreed to come to the next rehearsal Thursday evening, April 21st, and singers were committed to perform to the best of their abilities at D67 Spring Confrence 2011.

When Toastmaster Carolian Kiang asked me to organize a group of 100 singers to perform at the opening of the Spring Conference Party, it was a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE to me. How can I make it happen in a short time? How can I recruit 100 Toastmasters to form a "chorus"? How can I leave a good impression of D67 Toastmasters chorus to the singers and to the audience?

Hsin-tien Women Chorus agreed to support the D67 Toastmasters singing event without reservation upon my request. Former District Governors Athena Lien and Marian Hsiao signed up before I opened my mouth. President Erin Ke and members of Grand Toastmasters Club expressed their interest in this once-in-a-life opportunity. Six Golden ladies Toastmasters jumped upon the chance to show the love for the ROC on stage. Many toastmasters members signed up to support the singing activity after they saw the D67 female vocals want ad. I was moved and overwhelmed. A good beginning is half the battle.

I'm sure that the unprecedented opening singing of D67 Spring conference party 2011 will be successful. It will be a historical moment for Taiwanese Toastmasters. I am obliged to all the singers who participate in the ROC 100 celebration singing event. I can't thank them enough for their support and encouragement! I look forward to seeing the wide open eyes of the audience. I look forward to seeing more happy singing Toastmasters in D67.
