The 539th regular meeting was held at Danjo Kyodo Sankaku Center.
Today’s key word (called `Word of the Day’) which is provided by TM H.S was {Definitely}.

Today’s theme:  “Fashion & Style”  and Ms. H.I of TMOD explained the comments from role takers about Fashion&Style.  Everyone had a different fashion and different view for their styles. That was a very interesting point.

(We-our members are always very helpful and support each other! )

The 537th meeting Report

2012.10.06

The 537th regular meeting was held at Hatoba kaikan, our home ground.
Today, I was confused because ten guests came to YTMC!!! That’s unbelievable! So the meeting was very exciting and enjoyable.

The meeting theme was “Autumn festival”.
In Japan, There are expressions called “Autumn for Reading, Autumn for Eating, Autumn for Sports.”
So there are many events in autumn season. Many members told about event related to Autumn for Eating.

In addition, we had Speech marathon! There were six speakers in this meeting.
Each speech was different theme and project.
That’s why audiences listened to various speech and learned many useful things.

I realized that joining many guests leads to increase member’s motivation!
Please join us easily! And let’s learn presentation skill and leadership skill together!

We are looking forward to seeing many guests.

The 534th meeting report was held during Obon holiday. But many members joined the meeting!

Today, there was a special speech. The program title was “Problem-Solving Discussion”.
Speech time was 45-50 min! Very Very Long!
TM Y.K took a facilitator. And the theme of discussion was “Be more attractive TMC”. 
We discussed how every meeting becomes more active. 

The discussion was exciting, and there were many ideas to solve this problem.
During the discussion, I noticed it is important to contact with inactive members.

So, I’ll do that, and I’ll update this website more to inform atmosphere of every meeting to them!

‘Time management is very important!’

The 533 th meeting was adjourned by president message. Today there were five prepared speakers. So time table was very tight.

But five speeches were very exciting! There were various theme, for example African journey, Love!, Words and so on.
In addition, evaluation session was also exciting. All evaluators performed good time management, except for one.
This is…. PRESIDENT! It was overrun of only 3 seconds. But Toastmasters rule is very severe!
It was disqualified even just three seconds.

Time management is very important in Toastmasters club.
All member’s cooperation leads to close the meeting on time.
Let’s try to close the meeting at just 4 PM!
