[Legend] (Jan-May) 2012-2013 EVP journey

To follow up the previous status.

I have to post this part before I tell you about the Jan joint meeting with irrational motivated advanced Toastmasters, IMA TMC. It was the invitation from IMA, and I was not sure whether Legend would like to accept or not. However, during the time when we prepared the meeting, I was surprised to see the strong connection at IMA club.

Jan,2013
Joint meeting with IMA TMC.

Facebook and mail message to Legend TMC and irrational motivated advanced Toastmasters, IMA TMC.

Thanks to Kevin Lin and Bnoita Hsu for the handling the agenda.

Last officer meeting(Skype meeting), we reached the consensus that President, Thomas, would take over the agenda for the next 6 months.

So, I am off for handling the agenda.

I can focus on the host of this joint meeting.

"So, as the TM, the host, I would focus my introduction more on:

1. The purpose of the session.

2. The requirement of the speeches.

3. Things related to meeting theme. "Happy 2013."

Jan 5,2013 Joint meeting How do you make yourself happy in 2013?


I have an interesting reply from helper Allen Tai, 
Interesting!!!!

"Helper, Allen

1.Start to have dance class again since my first and last dancing class was two years ago. Even I am terrible at dancing. However, as a toastmaster, we like to accept challenge and keep improving ourselves. I would like to dance as shinning as Kevin.

2.Keep traveling. Whenever I have a travel plan, I always feel more energized. It is the best way to recharge and get rid of routine job. Invite Allen if you have any interesting plan to travel, please!"

Two months ago, Nov 2012, when my Legend regular meeting was being canceled, I visited IMA meeting. It's been a long time for me not to visit other sister's club's meetings for about 2 years. So, I was quite surprised that IMA could hold a wonderful meeting at Saturday morning?! After their meeting, at the 2nd run, I asked them for the advices for operation of the advanced club. One of the senior member suggested to host a joint meeting of these 2 advanced clubs. I wondered whether this would happened, despite the location and time might cause the inconvenience. 
But, we make it in Jan 5, 2013. So great~

Speaker Kevin talked about his Marathon experience. I always respect people who focus on sports in daily lives. Kind of like people share their persistence.

Speaker Irene, talked about her SOHO "Foto" speech. WoW~ It's so good to see my friends' ""dream come true" speech. Combine interest with job, and make a living by this. GOOD.

首先, 去年11月去拜訪IMA時, 還有 fall conference的2nd run, 真的很謝謝Ichi, Bonita, Shang, 幫忙我想救 Legend的點子. 要辦joint meeting也是你們提出的, Bonita 中間幫了大忙!!! 當中我們 FB 往來時辦joint meeting時, 就感受到你們的熱情(hot, hot). IMA 有這麼強的connection, 真的很吸引人.

I didn't show up at the meeting.

I really need to take a break and make myself calm down.

The good news is Clare Lu is willing to take the next term president of Legend TMC, 2013-2014.

She has already organized her officer team then.

GOOD~
