温馨的一夜
我住在大巴窑七巷五座的一房式租赁组屋,楼下于1999年1月29日,开设了一间 关怀乐龄中心.我从那时候开始,就经常到中心来参与活动.我见证了这里的人事变动,每一位工作人员都有他们不同的办事风格,可谓优点与缺点兼俱.一些职员很有爱心,善待我们老人家,又常常笑口常开,我们称他们为开心果.我有空时,就到中心找朋友聊天说笑话,有时也和他们一起下中国象棋.乐龄中心很好,不仅为我们提供茶点,还天天为我们提供免费的午餐.那些贫困又病弱的独居老人,非常需要这样的服务.
21-12-2004傍晚,乐龄中心的三位职员,带领我们41个独居老人,到位于武吉知马的新加坡管理学院出席 '关怀慈善之夜'.那是由新加坡管理学院华语讲演会所发起的慈善活动.当我们来到管理学院的门口,就有人迎上来接待我们到餐厅就坐.不一会,一杯杯热腾腾的饮料送到我们面前来,接着,又送来了一碟碟香喷喷的食物.讲演会的会员们都很热情地招待我们,我和一位热心的颜先生谈话,他说他住在义顺,知道今晚会有很多老人家来,特地到来帮忙的.晚餐后,我们到活动室去观看讲演会替我们准备的节目.节目内容很丰富,先由会长罗天志先生致开幕词,接着就有热身运动让大家一起动起来;12岁的小妹妹清脆的古筝演奏让大家听出耳油;大合唱 '牵手'把大家的手都牵在一起,主持人很贴心地说: "对于老人家,我们就是要这样细心地牵着他们的手一起走.";一曲 '月亮代表我的心'唱起时,就有两位会友上台翩翩起舞,他们实在是跳得太棒了! '生活小品'演出了除夕夜独居老人孤独的心声,但也同时传递了热心义工上门探访的人间温情; '即席演讲'很精彩,每个讲员都那么能讲,讲题非常有趣,都是一些和老人有关的话题,他们也用各种方言来讲,让那些听不懂华语的老人都听得懂.我们中心里的老人也上台唱了两首歌回馈他们,三位老婆婆也分别致感谢词,其中一位90岁的阿婆还唱了一首潮州歌曲给大家听呢!节目结束时,我们每一个人都收到一大袋礼物,里面有风油`药材和寒衣等.会长叫会友们替每一位老人穿上寒衣然后一起拍照留念.顿时,我们感觉很温暖.那是一份充满爱心的礼物,我们老人家虽然孤独度过下半辈子`虽然半夜无人替我们盖被`虽然常常在夜里感觉寂寞无助,但是,今晚,我们度过了一个温暖而难忘的夜晚.这美好的一刻,将伴随我们开开心心地度过往后的每一天.
如果不是新加坡管理学院华语讲演会的盛情邀请,我们这些老人家不可能有机会参与这样的一个盛会,我们也不会知道什么是讲演会?什么是即席演讲?我相信那些勇于上台演唱和演讲的阿公阿婆,肯定信心大增,更加勇敢地面对未来的人生.
这次的活动,令我感动,也因为这一份感动,促使我写下这一份报告,这是我第一次写报告,很担心写得不好被人笑.可是,如果我不大胆下笔将内心的感激之情写出来,我会不好受的.我很高兴看到自己的改变与突破,我从来没有想过,自己也能写一篇活动报告.
谢谢你们---关怀乐龄中心和新加坡管理学院华语讲演会的所有善心人士,是你们激励了我!

| Sky Media TMC is now Toa Payoh Central CC TMC | 10th November 2004 |
|
Dear
Fellow Toastmasters
It is with great pride
that we announce our new home, Toa Payoh Central Community
Club.
Sky Media announced that they
would be focussing their attention on their China business.
Since end September, we had to move out of their office
and we had been discussing with Toa Payoh Central CC and
finally, on 4 Nov 2004, the CCMC officially accepted us
under their umbrella. It had not been easy and I must say
all our members rallied behind us even though we did not
have a permanent home.
We will be changing the
name of our club from Sky Media Toastmasters Club to
TOA PAYOH CENTRAL CC TOASTMASTERS CLUB. I'll be
submitting to TI regarding this change.
Our meetings will still
be held on 2nd Mondays and 4th Thursdays of the month. The
meeting place will be the mini theatrette which can
accommodate up to 116 people - an ideal place to mould our
speakers and to hold contests as well!!
We welcome you to visit
us at our new home!
Cheers!!
Kris Tay
President 2004-2005

| Good News from Woodlands Toastmasters Club President | 19th September 2004 | ||||||||||
|
Dear District Officers in District 80,
I will bring you good news from Woodlands Toastmasters Club.
Our club went into a stage of closure in July despite chartered on Nov 2003 but things were pieces were put back slowly since then and we almost 1/4 way through the 10,000 pieces that torn apart.
I personally put 5000 flyers in letterbox with small scars at my hands to 58 blks near the CC and Admiralty area. My VPE and myself had been very stressed since the time when the rest of 19 members who are inactive not renewing their membership. My VPE, Siew Yen tried to call the members before every meeting to invite them back to our monthly meeting, we get replies like , see how, will do, .. and sometime no answer. She nearly reached a point of giving up but I taught her techniques which James Tan had taught me. Call the person 1st time, 2nd time, 3rd time, we stop calling the person again.
Our effort paid off when the speechcraft preview on 20 Aug 2004 take off with Michael Wee giving an presentation and our first speechcraft brought alot of success and brought out interested parties to sign up for Speechcraft or members. 9 Speechcrafters ( 1 of them is an old member who only did up to 2 project speeches, 4 are Speechcrafters- 1 of them from Clementi).
Instead of the promised target to the CCMC of 8 members in Sep, 15 members in Dec, we had surpass that quota set, 3 existing member (myself, VPE and an old member) 4 new members sign up as a member and attend their 1st Speechcraft (one of them is the CCMC Secretary) 4 dual members (excluding me) I also had a new team of Executive committee to assist me. Some of them are new members and dual members who had shown great interest about Toastmasters and Woodlands Toastmasters Club. After the Speechcraft, I will personally train them for their roles.
11 members Sep renewal - we are not there yet. Read on
I even persuaded DVG S Stanley Goh to sign up as a members as most of the Speechcrafters like his presentation. I will try to persuade Kan Kin Fung and Michael Wee to join the club. I did an 1 1/2 hrs presentation to a small medium company on 11 Sep 2004 despite the fact I am unwell. They were persuaded and inspired by my presentation when I did the following
One of the manager write a email on Monday to request for Speechcraft to conduct for 6 of their staffs, I obliged straightaway and plan for the next Speechcraft on every sat morning in Oct 2004 except the 3rd one when we invite them to as Toastmasters Meeting. We are charging the cost of members. So our next Speechcraft in Oct, I will again drop 5000 flyers into the letterbox to again attract resident around Admiralty area and Sembawang area.
I even invited the whole company of 25 staffs to join us for Speechcraft which in turn be members of the club when the cost of Speechcraft is equal to 1 year membership.
In Sep renewal ( Oct - mar) , Woodlands toastmasters club will be having 16 on the membership roasters at TI. Hope that we can have 31 members.
As an Area Governor of U2, I will spread this message around to the clubs in my area and my division U to motivate them and eventually they can do likewise to have more members.
I will to appeal to the District to support us in anyway throughout not only this term and our journey in Toastmasters.
Like what DG had say, "Do it Now"
Regards, Willie Loh Woodland Toastmasters Club President Area U2 Governor Division B Webmaster Toastmasters Community in Singapore - http://willieloh.com/phpBB2/index.php
