D67 Spring Conference 2011

When D67 Governor Mike Yang asked me to organize a chorus of 100 Toastmasters to open the D67 Spring Conference Party, I said NO, simply because it was a mission impossible. But, on the second thought, who would not jump at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase our patriotism in celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Republic of China?

It was a touching moment when the Masters of Ceremonies announced the opening singing, the curtains were open slowly. Every singer was full of excitements. Every singer was ready to exert herself to sing with joy. We ang with the beautiful scarves of our national flag on our shoulders.

We were a chorus of 60 members, including 30 female vocals from District 67 and 30 singers from Hsin-tien Women Chorus. We opened the eyes and ears of the audience of D67 Spring Conference 2011 Party. It was an unprecedented singing event in the history of District 67! We made it with honor and pride!

Friday evening, I recruited the last member of our singing group. I was thrilled when Mrs. Mike Yang agreed to join our singing performance when I invited her at the welcome dinner party. I sent her the music notes and mp3 late Friday evening, and Madame Yang came to our dress rehearsal on time Saturday evening, despite of her busy schedule. I couldn't thank her enough for her support of D67 Spring Conference 2011 by participating in our singing event. Action speaks louder!

Among hundreds of photos I took at D67 Spring Conference 2011, I like the one with D67 Governor Mike Yang's glowing smile when his better half kissed him on the cheek after D67 Spring Conference party Saturday evening, April 23rd. For all the years I had known Mike, it was his happiest moment, a moment of achievement, gratitude, and love!
