As the Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TLI) training Session 1 came to a close on the slightly rainy evening of the 23rd of July 2011, I heaved a sigh of relief. As I stood in the almost empty car park of the Function Hall at Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR College) and waved goodbye to the last attendees, I had a tinge of sadness amidst my relief that it was all over, for now.

Division W had the privilege of a sponsored venue - Function Hall provided by TAR College, and a ready and willing logistics team - TARC Toastmasters Club members headed by the ever energetic President, Eric Low.

As the Organising Chair (OC), I had the opportunity of working as liaison between the Division W Council helmed by Division Governor Marian Lee and the working team at TARC TMC. I am grateful for the enthusiasm and willingness to help from all areas.

Overall, many participants had positive comments on the appropriateness of the sessions conducted by the plenary speakers, and the usefulness of the content presented at the breakout sessions. Coupled with a well ventilated venue with good, simple refreshments, I believe the TLI1 met its main objectives to train the Club Officers of Division W and other divisions in District 51 as well as assist the attending clubs to achieve a portion of their Distinguished Club Program (DCP) goals.

Acknowledgements
I want to acknowledge District 51 LGET, Ramdas Nayar, DTM, LGM Faang Pyng, DTM and TLI Deputy Chair Johnson Yike, DTM for being the motivational plenary speakers during the TLI. They spoke animatedly, to the point, and have addressed many questions that were on many Club Officers' minds, especially the newer officers.

Much gratefulness to Division W Council for conducting the various Club Officers' Training (COT) sessions on that day.

Thanks to the help extended by members of Division W Council and TARC Toastmasters Club, being the Organising Chair for this particular TLI 1 was fun!
