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!

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!
