Meeting 6 Summary

Thank you to everyone who arrived early today!
Our meeting began at 7:05 PM, and we are making steady improvement.

There were several firsts at this meeting.
Lawrence, the VP-PR was the Toastmaster of the Evening, marking the first time that a member
took this position. Many thanks to our Senior members and Sponsors who spent their time role
modeling for us so that we could reach this new stage in KMUSTC. From now on, we'll be putting more members into session master positions, and after C4 speeches, members will be promoted to be evaluators as well. KMUSTC, we are steadily moving upwards!

Today's theme was Mother's Day, and both the Table Topics Session, led by session master Jonas Liu
and the special session, used this theme. The special session was a charades game with a Mother's day Theme. Everyone who attended the meeting, including guests, were divided into two teams. For every 1 minute round, each team earn points by guessing correctly the clue word explained to them by their team representative. Each clue was related somehow to mothers, and the restriction for the team representative was that he/she must use the word "mother" in his or her explanation, without using hand gestures. There were three rounds total, and at the end of the game: Both Team A and Team B had the same number of points! Almost everyone agreed that the interaction and team bonding added something more to the meeting today.

Jonas thoughtfully organized a powerpoint to get everyone thinking about mother's day. Each question asked us to reflect upon stories in which members explained their gratitude for their moms.

A big thanks to John Huang, who at the last minute took on the position of Evaluation Session Master.

At this meeting, President Jessica presented the awards for:
Best Speaker: Emily Wu
Best Table Topics Speaker:
Best Evaluator:
Best Session Master: Jonas Liu

Thank you to Evan for being our Timer, 盈佑 for being Ah Counter, and Tiffany for giving us our Language Evaluation report!

Behind the scenes, one final thanks to all the officers involved in making the special session game materials as well as planning in advance all the details to allow this meeting to run smoothly!

Happy Mother's Day to All!
