Presidential Address

.
Last year, the world was hit by a financial crisis that people have never seen before in decades. It was a storm, a big storm that have wiped out many companies, big and small, known and unknown, from the earth. Sadly, many people have lost their job and some have even worked without getting paid. Some say that the crisis is still not over and we are still in the crisis.

In a time like this, Metro Toastmasters Club was also not spared. We have lost members, be it direct or indirect consequence of the financial crisis. We were in the storm and we are still in the storm.

But nevertheless, I always believe that at the back of every crisis, there is always an opportunity. A new set of company will emerge, stronger than before, different than what they were before. I want Metro Toastmasters club to be one of the new set of entities.

We have a new EXCO line up that I believe is strong and can make a difference. However, the EXCO alone is not enough to make all the differences. They need support from every one - members and guests - to make this club a stronger club, vibrant and energetic.

So let us all work together to make this club a stronger club, vibrant and energetic.

"Riding the Storm, Making a Difference"
"Speaking your way to magical transformation"
