Meeting 4! 3/30! Theme: Attitude






Tonight, KMUSTC concluded yet another great meeting. Our Toastmaster of the Evening, Catherine Cheng, graciously conducted the meeting, and made sure everything was run smoothly.
Four members gave their C1 speech icebreaker: David Wu, Wanda Tsai, David Yun, and Clarice Chen. Congratulations to you all for taking the first step. Thank you for being well prepared and rising above expectations. For those of you who have yet to speak, volunteer quickly! Standards will only get higher and higher as you wait on the sidelines, which is clearly evident tonight. :)
Lillian Tseng, the Table Topics Session Master, provided us with a great topic: specialty foods of Taiwan. Members were asked to draw out at random a particular food item, asked to describe the dish, indicate why they liked or disliked it, and explain why the item is unique or special. No pushing or pressuring was needed, we had five people volunteer to speak: Edward Lee, Casey Lin, our Area D governor, Ben Johnson, a guest, Anita and ! Food items ranged from stinky tofu to bubble milk tea to bell fruit/wax apple and lychee. YUM!
Jonathan Chen, as the General Evaluator, led a really strong group of Evaluators tonight: Synex Ko, Tina Yu, Tracy Wu, and Dennis Pan. Thank you, senior members, for taking your time to support us and encourage us! Thank you also to Maurice, our Treasurer, and Edward for being our Ah counter and Timer and keeping everyone on their toes.
Thanks again to Tiffany for being our Grammarian tonight. Like always, her report was extremely helpful to all of us as she mentioned not only grammatical errors but tips for speech structure and organization.
As a conclusion, President Jessica passed out lucky cookies to wish all members success on the upcoming midterms.

Congratulations to those that recieved "The Best" awards:
Best Session Master: Lillian Tseng
Best Evaluator: Tracy Wu
Best Table Topics Speaker: Edward Lee
Best Speaker: David Yun

Our next meeting is 4/20, 7 PM again in A3!

Good luck with those midterms!
