Guesting at Friendship TMC

2 Presidents and some crazy guy
(Lay Theng, Adnan and Ernest)
by The Teh

On July 1st , Adnan and myself went to Friendship Toastmasters Club's first ever brand new meeting for the new term. The meetings are held at KL Golf and Country Club, which is around Sri Hartamas (big signboards conveniently point the way). It was the first time either one of us had been there, and we were there as evaluators (Adnan as the evaluator for Table Topics, I evaluated a project speech).

The first thing that struck us was how organized the meeting was. Friendship had a very nice and professional newsletter printed out, detailing, among other things, the President's Message, Club Goals, an event calendar, and even a comic of Dilbert!
Anand and I were warmly greeted by the members, and Anand and I were impressed by how well prepared the role players were. Ernest from HELP TMC was the General Evaluator, and there were 3 project speakers for that night: Alexandra Lau for her 1st speech; Zaiton Zainal Abidin for Speech #4 (whom I evaluated); and ACS James Ariokasamy for Advanced Communicator Speech #1.

All in all, we were very impressed and the meeting went very well, although we did not manage to sample FTMC's regular chicken wings (the new SAA pledged that he would provide wings in future meetings). Thanks to Ben and the EXCO for inviting us there.

Do Friendship still charge a door fee of RM$20, if not playing a role?
