Meeting No. 6: 25 September 2008

The meeting was attended by six members and six guests.

Congratulation to Kassim Jeritan who completed his CC7 speech and is three speeches away from getting his Competent Communicator. He was evaluated by CC Khairulnizam. Move on Kassim.

The 2nd speaker is ACB Tan Hong Mui from X-Fab Club, who did the Specialty Speeches Advance Manual for Read Out Loud. ACB Fauzi evaluated her speech.

We will continue to encourage our members to do speeches especially those that have not done any for a very long time. It is noticed generally that once members stop making speech for a long time, it is difficult to pick up and move on. But with commitment and the goal to complete the speech, you can do it. Commit yourself to speeches.

When contacted to make speeches by the VPE or TOE, jump on it. Don't think twice. Remember this quote - " If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you're right". Start to think 'You Can'.
