The word of the evening, “marvelous”, was introduced by TM G-to and it was used frequently by the speakers as well as other role takers. TM Pe-la took control of the meeting as the TMOE (toastmaster of the evening) while TM T-chi, TM Da-na, TM Ma-da and TM Mu-ma performed the helping roles of timer, grammarian, ‘ah’ counter and vote counter respectively.


The role of joke master made its return after a long silence and TM Mi-chi did a wonderful job entertaining the audience using dual-meaning words.


The table topics session was conducted by TM M-ri and his preparation and effort were clearly visible from the five interesting questions TM M-ri asked from speakers. After each speech TM M-ri did not forget to add TM M-ri’is own comments to the questions asked, which enabled two way communication.


The meeting brightened up with four prepared speeches.

The first speaker, TM Ma-da, gave a speech, titled “English, without preference”, completing project #3 of New Basic Manual. TM Ma-da expressed his view on the role English plays in the current day today life, and in especially on his life events.

The second prepared speech was given by TM Mi-ta. TM Mi-ta finished project #4 of New basic Manual with the speech title “a coin”. It was an interesting speech, which described the origin of the five yen coin and how it blended with the Japanese society.

TM Ya-ra, as the third speaker, gave an exciting speech about one of the characters TM Ya-ra admires. TM Ya-ra’s speech title was “the adventures of Yaiya” and it focused on the objectives of project #5 of New Basic Manual.

With the speech title, “long seeking”, TM Ma-to, the fourth speaker, shared the story about a movie TM Ma-to watched recently. TM Ma-to completed project #6 of New Basic Manual.

The speeches were very well prepared and it was a wonderful opportunity for the audience to listen to very good speeches.

 

After intermission, TM Ka-ta conducted the evaluation session. The four speeches were evaluated by TM Ko-shi, TM Dr-n, TM O-mi and Mo-to respectively. All four evaluations reflected their personalized opinions, while critically assessing the speeches according to the project objectives.

Detailed Report for the Meeting on December 3 (meeting #36)

posted Jan 8, 2012 5:27 AM by VTMC Admin   [ updated Jan 8, 2012 5:36 AM ]

On 3rd of December, Visionaries Toastmasters Club (VTMC) regular meeting #36 was taken place at Nakahara Shimin-kan which was attended by two first-time guests.

 

The meeting started with Word of the Evening as usual and TM U_ma introduced the word “pleasurable”. Then the entire meeting was conducted by TM M_ma as second time TMOE. The meeting was supported by Timer, which was taken care of by TM U_ma, who generously took double role, President I_ki worked as GrAhCo (Grammarian & Ah Counter), and TM U_no took a role of Vote Counter for his first time.

 

TM M_ma gave a Thought of the Evening speech. The speech was purposely connected to later session for introducing the prepared speakers. Then TM D_na made a Joke Master speech. It’s been a long time since we had a Joke Master last time.

 

Next, TM M_da conducted the Table Topics Session as a first-timer, and TM U_ma, TM I_shi, TM U_no and a guest Mr. Na_ma made impromptu speeches. TM M_da made the session interesting by using a pie chart and each topic was something about percentages.

 

There were three prepared speakers.

 

The first speaker was TM M_ri. His speech title was “The Main Interest in My Life,” which was Project#1 from Competent Communication Manual; The Ice Breaker. This was the second time Project #1 speech for him, but he gave his speech at VTMC for the first time.

 

The second speech was given by TM K_ta. He titled his speech as “Breakthrough,” which was Project #4 from Competent Communication Manual; How to Say It. He talked about innovative techniques used for airplanes.

 

TM L_e was the last speaker. Since he uses Advanced Communication Manual, he made longer speech than others. His project was #3; Sell a Product and speech title was “’MythikLysmic’ – It Happens Oct 13th, 2013.” He promoted an imaginary performance event as if it will happen on the date he showed.

 

After an intermission, TM M_chi conducted a marvelous Evaluation Session, which was supported by evaluators of TM G_to and TM Na_ta, who performed very well, especially TM G_to, who was the first-timer and the third evaluator was General Evaluator herself. Although TM M_chi was really busy with her double role, she did excellent job.

 

Prizes were awarded to …

              TM U_ma (Best Table Topic Speaker)

              TM G_to (Best Evaluator)

              TM L_e (Best Speaker)

 

There was an election of VPPR after the regular meeting session and TM K_shi was elected as a member of new officers.


Our next meeting will be Christmas featured and the last one of this year. Please note that the place will be at Techno Kawasaki near the Mizonokuchi Station, not the usual Nakahara Shimin-kan.
