EMinent Communicators TMC as Installation Officer, 09th July 2019

On the 09^th July, I visited EMinent Communicators Toastmasters Club.  This was my first visit in my capacity as Area A2 Director, Toastmasters District 80 Division A.  I was also the language evaluator.  This was my 6^th club visit, on the 09^th day of the Toastmaster year.

EMinent Communicators Toastmasters Club, based at Dell, is an exemplary example of a corporate club. It is vibrant, it is dynamic, it is ably lead.  The members understand the need to be effective communicators, and how it helps career growth.  They are, as they name themselves, eminent communicators.

We had three speeches.  Two of them revolved somewhat, around the theme of a childhood in places other than Singapore by Prashanth T. K., and Debananda Patro.  Debananda Patro was especially hilarious in his recounting on how his mother especially wanted him to be a girl, and how she argued with the doctor on the gender of the baby.  Swaminathan Rajamanickam spoke about the dangers of artificial intelligence, and the consequences of automation at the cost of our humanity.

Special commendation to Mithun Jugal Kishore Malani, for his dedication and drive, and we wish him the best in his tenure as President and Vice-President, Education.  Special thanks, also, to Thomas Chen Jun Ying for the installation pictures.  The evaluators were Marshall Cooper, Thomas Chen Jun Ying, and Penny Anne Radcliffe.  There was no voting for best speaker or best evaluator, because some were over the time limit.  I was best table topics speaker.
