Achievers Toastmasters Meeting Summary – May 4
It was another full house filled with fun and laughter! Becky turned up the heat immediately, teaching the audience a rhythmic clap that had everyone humming “We Will Rock You” in no time—a fantastic way to kick off the meeting.
After the facilitators explained their roles, Toastmaster Derek introduced Edward, who delivered an excellent rehearsal speech for the upcoming International Speech Contest in Zhuhai. Good luck, Edward!
Our ”guru,“ Jim, hosted a lively Table Topics session, dishing out ”easy“ questions ranging from election promises to advice for new club officers. Five brave Achievers (Kai, Cary, Jessie, William, and Pauline) plus guest Neeraj took on the challenge.
Jordan kept the excitement going by hosting the2026-27 club officer election. Congratulations to Ramya, our dedicated VP Education, who was elected as the next Club President! The highlight of the election was the cliffhanger for Co-SAA, with the audience bursting into cheers when Alec stepped forward to take on the role.
Katherine gave a warm welcome to guests, including Neeraj and Gloria, a recent graduate of a Speechcraft program.
After the break, Iris provided constructive feedback on Edward’s speech, while Ramya and Cindy evaluated the Table Topics speakers. Irene, Terry, and Eric provided detailed reports on filler words, timing, and grammar.
Finally, General Evaluator Jessica offered cogent observations on the performance of each role-taker.
Awards:
