Octoberfest! 7th Meeting of the Term (2013/2014)

October is an exuberant month for TUTMC. Why? Because Taylor's University Toastmasters Club celebrates its 3 year anniversary on the 4th of October 2013. Hence the theme Oktoberfest in this October meeting. It certainly shows that TUTMC has come a long way since then. To spice it up,our president who seems to be on the roll of having our meeting outdoors decided yet again to have our meeting outdoors(not that I am complaining).

I started of the meeting as toastmasters of the morning and then Dylan as president asked everyone what the month October meant to them. After that, it was the

Table Topic Session

Table topic master, Leon Saw. Very interesting topics indeed.

I was asked whether Oktoberfest should be celebrated short term or long term

And suddenly, we weren't as lucky as the previous meeting as it down poured halfway through the meeting, and all of us rushed to our safe zone, LT11. (We were drenched and LT11 was freezing yet we continued the toastmasters meeting)
