Theme: How to manage time effectively

To say today’s meeting was full of energy would be an understatement. We had a room full of members and guests, all were engaged in the meeting and eager to participate and express their thoughts and opinions.

President Bill opened the meeting and warmly greeted the guests, followed by toastmaster Fei. Table topic was led by Wendy.

First Speaker

Caleb - Where I live. Being the youngest speech speaker in the club, Caleb demonstrated maturity beyond his years. He was confident delivering his speech. His life story was charming, we felt we entered this young  boy’s life, and went outdoor fishing and played indoor chess with him along the way.

Second Speaker

Haiwen - Neuroplasticity, Telomere and the Benefits of Meditation. Who would have known there was a correlation between meditation and brain size? Haiwen explained the scientific theory in layman’s term, even kids can understand and recite the idea. The story was educating and captivating, we all felt smarter after the speech.

Evaluators -

Ryan and Shimin
