A Visit to Shaklee Dynamic Family
Posted on Sunday, February 20, 2011 by cheehoe
Invited by dedicated VPE Gan Ban Heng, I had a wonderful time at my first visit to Shaklee Dynamic Family Toastmasters Club on 13 February 2011. The members of Shaklee had prepared a sumptuous potluck high tea buffet for everyone. Every member brought some food and we had an excellent buffet. I enjoyed the home-cooked food which made me feel that I am part of this dynamic family.
TME Charlene lead us in reciting the Toastmasters oath
President Samuel preparing the grape juice for the toasting ceremonyI was amazed by the special ‘giving a toast’ session which uplifted our emotions. Lead by Division G Governor cum General Evaluator NJ Singam, the ‘toasting’ ceremony gave the highest respect to Toastmasters founder, Dr Ralph C Smedley. The toasting ceremony elevated the meeting.
Giving a toast to our Toastmasters International movement Although the meeting falls on Sunday, the turn out of members is very encouraging. They are very proactive, not only in taking part in the Table Topics session, but also competing to take part in the impromptu Humour Session.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the unexpected visit of our District Governor Thannimalai and Lieutenant Governor Marketing Ramdas Nayar. Thannimalai told us that he had just finished a Youth Leadership Program in Kuala Lumpur and rushed to attend this meeting.

As the Grammarian for this meeting, I observed that the standard of language is very high. I certainly like Julius Caesar’s quote of ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’ used by TM Tee, in his prepared speech.
GE Singam provided the climax in his general evaluation by guiding us on how to benefit from the constructive feedback. I learned a lot from this exhilarating meeting and I would like to thank Mr. Gan for his invitation.

Even if you are not able to visit Shaklee, have a look at Division W website (http://divisionw.co.cc) to find out the meeting date and time of other clubs. Every club is unique and you will certainly learn new things from each club visit!
