Austin started the meeting by inviting Tammy to present awards and certificate of Select Distinguished Club to YSTC and Distinguished Area Governor to Jimmy Shih, then welcomed all guests and introduced the meeting master, Casey Lin with wonderful words.

Joke Session: Vincent Chien
To keep the feeling of an attractive and vivid meeting, Vincent was brave to take the job of being Joke Session Master. Beyond his expectation, there were so many volunteers would like to share funny stories, like Dennis, James, Mark and Sophia. To the audience’s surprise, Vincent had a magic show for them. Several attendants enjoyed the process of copying his way of knotting but failed. Audience were delighted with loud laughter. Wow, Vincent becomes different time after time.

Educational Training Program: Tracy Yang
To let members understand how important keep commitment is for a TM to his/her club and how we can benefit from it, Tracy choose the topic “Keep the Commitment Interactive” and delivered an encouraging speech for around 13 minutes. She did her best effort and most attendants were impressed by her performance (Ha, Tracy guessed la!) But if she could rely on notes less, be less nervous, and have more eye contacts and interaction with the audience, her speech would be much better.

To help audience recall the contents of two prepared speakers, Sarah repeats key points of the speeches. It was a smart and great action.

1. Austin Chien: Besides several compliments on Frank’s speech, Austin also suggested Frank to be more relaxed and softer while speaking in public (Hey, that’s also what Tracy needs. ^__^)

2. Sophia Lin: Without doubt, Sophia admired Mark’s speech very much. But, as a evaluator, she suggested Mark to prepare much more for his speech and give audience something special for convincing and persuasion. Besides, some more body languages would be better.
