Today was our second to last meeting, the 7th, for the semester!
The Toastmaster of the Evening was Jonas Liu, our VP Education- who did an excellent job in preparing, running the meeting and making sure it went smoothly.

Thank you to Grace Shih, DTM, for running our special session today. She showed us how wonderful the world of Toastmasters is by letting us watch two champion speakers from the convention of 2003: Casey Lin for her Humorous Speech and Joyce Wu for her International speech on her father. Both were inspiring in their quality, attention to detail, and impact.

The Table Topics Session was conducted by Emily Wu, whose theme today was on the earthquake that just hit SiQuan, China a few days ago. Her questions prompted us to think more deeply about what it meant to Taiwanese, who experienced the 912 earthquake, and how we could help. Well done, everyone! Many brave members came up today for the table topics, let's give them a round of applause!

Doris Liu, was our Evaluation Session Master this time, and as usual, she did a fine job in pointing out what needed to be improved. Our meeting did not officially begin until 7:15 PM today, as we were waiting for members to trickle in. Hopefully we'll do better at our last meeting!

Thank you to our Timer 品紓 and our Ah Counter 京澤 for providing us with careful feedback. Grace performed double duty today as our language evaluator, giving us many helpful tips.

As usual, President Jessica presented the awards:

Best Speaker: Lawrence Huang
Best Table Topic Speaker: Eric Liang
Best Evaluator: Catherine Chang
Best Session Master: Jonas Liu
Most Improved Speaker: Chung Yi Lin

The final segment of the meeting was thanking our senior members and sponsors for all they have done for us this semester, including a little sweet gift to show the appreciation from KMUSTC.



As VP-PR, I also want to take the opportunity here to thank the six other officers:
Jessica, Jonas, Jyun Cheng, Maurice, Vanessa, and Conan. It was a pleasure working with your guys this semester, and I think we have gone a long way as a team. Like I said, I regret that we were not able to meet sooner or work together for a longer period of time. And, if you couldn't tell, I was really touched with the flowers...it was a pleasant surprise. I will miss you all in Taipei. Thanks for your hard work and keep it up. To all KMUSTC members: continue to pour your efforts into the club! You will gain much and learn much, as I have in these short months. For those of you who are rising stars in KMUSTC: whether its is because you have won an award or gave a really great speech or have come to all the meetings or just want to give more time to Toastmasters, consider running for officer next year! You will be able to see first hand and experience how large the Toastmaster family is! The skills, connections, and friendships you form here will be with you wherever you go. Thank you all for your support and patience with your first VP-Public Relations. It was an honor.
