Dear Fellow Toastmasters,
At the IEM meeting last Thursday, 14 June 2012, a certain District
Officer expressed his amazement at how we managed to steer, transform
and restore our Club to its glorious past - a Club known and recognised
by one and all within the very much enlarged District 51 as one of the
leading exemplary clubs in the region. For this, I must admit that I
did not do it alone.
First and foremost, I wish to express my profound gratitude to all
my team Exco members for their efforts and contributions during the past
year; without whose assistance, I am sure we would not be able to
attain our dreamed, prestigious and sweet success goal of attaining the
President's Distinguished Club Award.
My appreciation also goes to our active Areas C2 Governor, ACG Lee
Meng Tze, for her persuasive leadership, motivation .and support shown
and rendered us throughout the term. Her leadership has been very
transparent of a true servant to her Area in particular and the
Toastmaster World at large. I wish her continued passion to be an
Ambassador of TM International in this region.
Our last meeting for this season is on Friday, 29 June 2012;
thereafter, in-coming President Boon and his team will take over the
helm of leadership. I am positive given the support by our members,
over club will attain "cedius, altius and fortius" goals in the years ahead.
My advice to him and his team is this: "Leadership is about
directive and purposeful selfless giving of once efforts and time
towards helping his fellowman to succeed and to become a better man.".
In translating this adage into action, one needs to plan ahead, act upon
the plans and follow through them with passion and enthusiasm.
Members, do come for the meeting to hear "My Swan Song". I promise
you that it is not going to be a sad and rueful rendition. We shall
end the year with a "bang" - so, do come and find out what the few
mysterious surprises awaiting your presence. Let me share with you the
secrets of success and happiness in your journey to become a better
leader and public speaker. WE are going to have a celebration to mark
the closure of a term well served and achieved.
Division C is organising 'A Year-End Appreciation Luncheon" on
Sunday 15 July, 2012. Besides, I am told that there shall be a joint
installation of in-coming officers of a few clubs in the Division.
Perhaps, our in-coming EXCO may want to participate and save the time of
having their own installation.. The cost per person is RM38/-. For for
information, please contact VPE C K Lim. Do sign up for the function
to show our support and affinity to the toastmasters fraternity and
camaraderie.
Good Night and I look forward to a full attendance of members.
Dr William Lau
Out-going President
2011-2012
