Dear all
Friend is valuable wealth of everyone. The person whom you called friend means he is always honest to you no matter the truth will delight you or not; he is always glad to help you no matter trifles or big trouble; he is always open-eared to you no matter applause or complain. He will encourage you when you depress; he will guide you when you confuse; he will appease you when you lose your temper; he will write your hurt on the sand and carve your help on the rock.

Dear Fellow Toastmasters:
It’s the end of May now. Because it’s getting late, I will write this note in short.
In the past month, we promoted the theme of Tall Tales. I know it’s a fairly new area and most of us are still not sure how to tell a tale in tall. 
But the good thing is I got very good feedbacks from our members who thought the education session by our guests from Singapore was pretty cool. And also it’s good to know new things from meetings.
Also, in this month, we have the national toastmaster convention held in BJ. It’s very good experience for me not only because I was the MC but also because I watched quite a few good speeches and learnt from others. I do encourage everyone should go for it whenever there is a chance.
In the coming month, our theme is: Promote to be the officers. We hope that after the promotions, more of our members are willing to be a leader in our club. It’s definitely a very rewarding thing. Please DO think about it.
Let’s learn and grow from toastmasters!
All the best.

The meeting started with President Monica introducing TM Cathy Yue, who took this role under the pressure both from her job and the preparation of this weekend outing. Cathy chose the theme of this meeting as “How to make a better decision”. It is really a theme of everyone in everyday life. We have to make choice, from the color of one dress when we do shopping to which to buy—BMW or house if we have money; from what to have for lunch to selecting a new product for manufacturing. Many of us freeze when we’re faced with decisions, even small ones. We’re afraid of making the wrong choice. Cathy gave us the tips to make a better decision: first, ask yourself can you accept it if the decision come true; second, observe your feeling, you will be comfortable with some options and uncomfortable with others. Some seem good and some seem wrong; then make the decision bravely.
