West Coast TMC as Workshop Presenter, 14th September 2019

On the 14^th September 2019, I was at West Coast Toastmasters Club, as Workshop Speaker.  This was my 60^th club visit on the 76^th day of the Toastmaster year.

The Toastmaster of the Day was Hiroshi Kaneko.  The timer was Livio Deltin.  The ah counter was Kim Tan.  The table topics master was Patrick Oei Kian Seng.  The sergeant-at-arms was Joey Chua.

Joey Chua spoke about the concept of being a zero.  Unfortunately, I missed the speech since I was from a late appointment.

Jenny Lim spoke about the need for us to eat more vegetables for health.  She had detailed slides on the effects of the lack of phytovitamins has on our health.  She also spoke about the need for more critical illness coverage, as a consequence of this food deficiency.

Dhruv Bais gave his icebreaker speech, telling us about his background, and his aspirations.

Muhammad Sufian Bustamam told us he came to Singapore, after marrying a Singaporean overseas.  He went into some of the challenges he overcame to fit in, and start a new life here.  He shifted here from Sacramento, California.

Yumi Eum gave us a hilarious speech about being single, from Korea, when there is constant pressure for her to get married.  She spoke about the benefits of being single, and then said, at the very end, she would throw them all away to find the right person.  That has to be the most aggressive dating pitch I have ever heard.  She had the room in stitches.

I gave a 30-minute presentation about public speaking, rhetoric, and how to command an audience.

The evaluators were Hou Dong Xia, Nazgulya Zakiyeva, Sam Chou, Frank Perera, and McRhon Banderlipe.

Best Speaker: Yumi Eum;

Best Evaluator: McRhon Banderlipe

Best Table Topics Speaker: Flaming Chew.
