Dear all,
A wonderful year has passed and before we progress onto the next session, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone whom we have been working with.
2008 /2009 Session has been a good year for IEM Sarawak Toastmasters Club especially in achieving the President Distinguished Club award which I am very confident we will attain for this session. It has also been a good year since we were involved in many activities such as District 51 Annual Conventions, presentations and talks which promotes Toastmasters all around Kuching and help create awareness that Toastmasters is always around to aid engineers in public speaking.
The present success of IEM Toastmasters Club would not have been possible without the leadership of our outgoing President ACB/CL Fauzi Shahab and his team. Actually I should regard ACB/CL Fauzi Shahab as a Super President since he has held and assisted almost all the other Exco members and their duties during this session. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Fauzi Shahab and his team for a job well done. Let us all give him and his team a big applause for all these contributions. It would be difficult to match their outstanding achievement for this 2008/2009 Session.
I sincerely accept this important role as President of IEM Toastmasters Club for the 2009/2010 Session and together with the strong support of my new team members (My VPE, VPM, VPPR, Secretary, Treasurer, SAA and committee members) aligned with the new upcoming motto, we will strive to attain perfection of the 10 DCP Educational Goals to achieve again the President Distinguished Club award for the 6th time. With this target as set aside, I would also drive to promote membership to at least 40 members and also to win all the club contests up to international level be it humorous, evaluation, international speech or table topics. Why? Because all I see here are potential candidates to be champions in these events and make us proud to be a member of IEM Sarawak Toastmasters Club.
Before I end this speech, I would like to share a quote with you from Henry Ford, “
Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”With this I would like to wish everyone a blessed, prosperous and a great year in the 2009/2010 Session ahead.
Thank you.
