The regular meeting of YTMC was held for the first time in about a month.

Today, the speech marathon was planned. So there were 7 speakers in this meeting!
It was very exciting!
Speakers gave audiences prepared speech using each speech skill.
Then many speakers gave speeches using PC.
But unfortunately, a projector and some of their PC were not compatible.

If we use the device like PC in the speech, we need to deal with the possibility of an accident.
And if we can do nothing about this, we give the speech without PC!! But I’m sure YTMC members can do it!

Dec.15th is the last meeting in 2012. We will plan year end party.
Please join us!

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.
As there are limited attendees for today’s meeting, some members took double roles.
(We-our members are always very helpful and support each other! )

Today, we had a special presentation by TM Y.K and the speech Time was about 45 minutes!!  On his speech, we became a member of the House of Representatives and how to decrease national debt”1,000 trillion JPY “.

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!
