BUSINESS SESSION

ANNOUNCEMENTS
1.         The Membership Training that was planned after Catrijn’s Corner is cancelled because all resorts in the area are booked. Instead, we will be meeting with Toastmasters Tuesday for dinner at Brunch Market in Suncheon at 5PM. If you are still interested, please be in Suncheon by 4:45PM and take a taxi to the “Brunch Market.” The Taxi drivers know where it is.

The last bus for Busan from Suncheon is at 9PM, so if you want to go, you will need to make your own arrangements for lodging and accommodations, and take the bus back on Sunday.

2.        OFFICERS TRAINING(Jerry HWANG)
Officer Training will have to be postponed to a later date due to a scheduling conflict at PNU. The university needed the rooms that we reserved for that day. Since we are not affiliated with the University, we do not get priority. The rescheduled date will be announced soon.

3.       TRESURERS ELECTION AND VPPR REPLACEMENT
In a previous meeting, Go Getters members took Marie CHUNG on the nominee list. Unlike every member’s expectation, Marie wanted the new fellow member, Eugene KIM, to be in charge of the job. Eugene accepted it, all members in the meeting casted the votes for the new Treasurer Election, and she was elected as the Treasurer for Go Getters Toastmasters. Congratulations!

Sad news, our formal VPPR, Evelyn GO, has found a job which clashes with GGTM’s schedule. She had to step down as VPPR. So Go Getters had a replacement election for the position. Most of the members suggested that Sang-Je be the new VPPR. Sang-je accepted it, all members casted the votes with hands, and Sang-Je was elected as the new VPPR unanimously! Congratulations!
 

TABLE TOPICS SESSION
Table Topics speakers who speak under 1 minute or over 2 minutes are not eligible for the Best Table Topics Speaker Award.

 The Table Topics Master of the day was Marie CHUNG. She came up with a few questions. And she prepared a session where she would announce the topic, and then called Toastmasters up to the stage to answer.

The General Evaluator, Ken AHN said,
The meeting started on time by the Sergeant at Arms banging the Gavel as usual.
And every member of the evaluation team on the day did great jobs.
Suggestions, all the members need to keep applauding until the speakers reach their seats. Plus, Toastmaster for every meeting shouldn’t forget to lead applause.
