Dear Fellow Toastmasters and Guests,

2^nd Runner-Up: Lily Chin (life is Unexpected)

Table Topics Contest:

Champion: Sivakumar Kumaresan

1^st Runner-Up: Lily Chin

2^nd Runner-Up: Karis Chong

A huge round of applause to all 6 International Speech contestants and 5 Table Topics contestants! Yes, indeed our speakers stirred us to prepare for the unexpected, adapt to surroundings with heart and mind, champion for world peace, never give up on our goals and while doing all that, never say never! What an inspiring evening it was for everyone present. Even the Table Topic question What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Stronger was inspiring. Our contestants certainly proved that entering a speech contest indeed did not kill them but made them stronger! :)

So congratulations to ALL of our contestants for embracing the challenge to take one step forward, one level higher to becoming a better speaker. 

Special thanks to:

Organising Chairperson TM Christopher Shaw and his team for making this annual event another successful one.

Contest Chairs Sylvia Maten, ACS (Table Topics) and Melissa Betsy, CC (International Speech) for leading such entertaining sessions

Chief Judge Christine Yap, DTM for briefing and guiding the judges and role players

Our winners will be representing the Club to the Area K1 Level Contest on 25^th February 2011 at Ahmad Nifsu Theatre, UMS @ 7.30pm. For more information, please contact Area Governor Jasmine Leong. Be sure to be there to support our champions!

Let’s continue to Move, Express and Inspire! :)

Yours in Toastmasters,
