Everyone, congratulations on a job well done!

There was also an education orientation on the various roles involved in conducting a successful Toastmasters meeting by Lillian Tseng. Thank you Lillian!
Her powerpoint presentation can be found here:

The Table Topics Session today composed of four brave contestants making speeches about the theme of "Time", hosted by session master Jenny Hung. She is also a fellow student of KMU, who is part of ALEmax since last year!
The questions were:
If you were given 1 extra hour a day to have 25 hours a day, how would you use your time?
If you were given 1 less hour a day to have 24 hours a day, how would you rearrange your schedule?
If you have a time machine to travel back to the past, what time of your life would you return to and why?
If you have a time machine to travel back to the past, what would you do differently?
The speakers were:
蘇緯哲
林中一
Emily Wu
Maurice Lee
Because the speakers were not decided previously, Jenny called out random names from a list-which was both a cruel and exciting method to conduct Table Topics! Thanks to those that volunteered and especially to those that braved the challenge!

Ah Counter for this meeting was Emily Wu while the Timer was Sunny Chen. Thanks to both who participated!

The Grammarian was Tiffany Taulton who did a great job of pointing out common mistakes made by the speakers. She also made constructive comments about the importance of speech organization-whether using a theme, a chronological outline, or an outline by topic that is emphasized in the introduction.

A move was made during the meeting to alter the time for our next meeting due to the long weekend as well as midterms beginning of April.

Due to the midterm exams early April, the next meeting will be held on Sunday, 3/30/2008, again in NB603 at 7 PM sharp! PLEASE BE ON TIME!

See you there!!
