[Legend] (Oct-Dec) 2012-2013 EVP journey

To follow up.

Oct,2012

Legend Sept 1 meeting was with the atmosphere of "family." 

Uncle Josh gave us a super great evaluation workshop that I wanted to invited him to give 100 workshops for Legend.
Variety session Vicky's game was so fun that we knew who were bad at spelling.
Both Clare and Thomas' humorously speeches were "interesting," plus courageous.
IE, Kevin Lin, always provided critique and suggestions.
TM of the day, Jula Hsu, managed the "modified in-house contest meeting" well.
GE, Rojer evaluated the meeting with moderate suggestions.
Table topic master, Celia, brought us the topics about traveling.
...................
That's enough for the previous meeting.
Now is the contest season, so, some members might be invited to be the judges, or some might just go to see sister clubs' contests. Great.
If you need further information, you may check Legend internal website "Legend Archives."
.....................

Last, remember to come to Legend Oct 6 meeting.
Now is fall, the season of "crab 螃蟹," want to eat the seafood at my hometown, again (竹圍漁港)?

My Legend TMC members,

By looking at Josh's nice photos, plus the great feedback from visitors, and super great meeting minutes about Legend Oct meeting. You can tell Legend is a place, where friends share lives in the first Saturday afternoon.

 Another thing is, now is contest season. It starts from the club in-house(Sept), division contest (Oct), to district contest (Nov), it's a time to see people "progress" in a short limit of time. Join some contests if you can. (I just send a notification mail to you about the district fall conference.)

OK, back to the basics. As the EVP, I'd like to remind you about the coming Nov meeting.

So far, I've received the message from 4 members that they are not available for Legend Nov 3 meeting.

This means: we might not have enough members to carry the 10 assignments.

Rough agenda like:
TM of the day:
Timer:
Ah-counter:
Variety session:
Speaker 1:
Speaker 2:
Table topics:
IE1:
IE2:
GE:

So, simple math problem. We might short of members to fulfill the assignments of Nov 3 Legend meeting.

 I have a long discussion with Thomas about this issue.

We come out with 2 options for Legend November meeting:

One:  Legend November 3 meeting @same meeting venue

Two: Joint meeting with YZU Nov 10 @ YZU TMC, 14:00-16:30

Please reply which one you vote by Thursday, Oct 25. 

Please reply to Thomas and me, no need to reply to all.

1. Option one or two?

2. You can take the assignment of Nov 3? You can take the assignment of Nov 10?

If few people vote for Legend Nov 3 meeting, the, we are going to have a joint meeting with YZU TMC, Nov10.

We will let you know the result.

Vice president of education, Legend TMC 2012-2013

My friends,

Legend November 3 meeting has been canceled due to most members have conflict schedule on that day. Thus, Thomas and I make a decision to create a joint meeting with YZU TMC in Nov., our sister club, which holds the similar meeting time on the Saturdays of the month. If you want to see how YZU TMC run their meeting on November 10, you can join this meeting. Later on, we might work out the schedule together. Thomas and I may contact with you.

By the way, I've registered to district conference (for Clare Lu) today. I would go to the conference on day 2, and Thomas would go on day 1. Hope we can learn something from the conference and take them back to Legend TMC.

One last thing, save your energy for coming December meeting(Dec 1) and Div. E X'mas party(Dec 15).

2012.11.10 YZU-Legend joint meeting_1

Actually, I haven't visited YZU for more than 6 months. I am surpised to see the senior members are back to YZU and take the major assignments. Like Brian's A10 "Toastmasters journey", Julia's "Beckpacker" and Kevin's evaluation. As long as the membership of the club, to host a quality meeting would be much easier.

This meeting theme "life is a box of .......", and the main subjects, travelling and movies, are constantly mentioned through the meeting. Good connection.

Dec,2012

My friends,

Just came back the Fall conference, I met lots of old friends, witnessed lots of great contest speeches, and I got lots of different perspectives about TM at the 2nd run gathering. It's just worthwhile to join the big event.

OK, get to basics. I'd like to remind you about the coming draft agenda of Legend Dec 1 meeting. As usual, I'll pre-arrange it, please let me know whether you are comfortable with the assignment asap. Thanks.
