by doing it professionally and honestly

With all the dedication and sincere efforts, our meting on 30^th June, 2011, was made successful. The attendance was thin but members performed dual roles and some even joined us in the second session but every commitment was honoured.

Presiding officer of the meeting was TM Shahrukh. In absences of Madam TM Neel, TM Mansoor executed the duties of Sergeant-at-Arms. TM Khalid was the Toastmaster of the Evening. Madam TM Shabana was the General Evaluator but she had to leave and her role was taken up by TM Shahrukh. TM Tahir was the Table Topics Evaluator.

Roles were performed by TM Aqeel as the Ah-Counter, TM Mansoor as the Timer, TM Tahir as the Vote Counter, TM Shahrukh as the Grammarian and TM Sajjad was the Word-master. Word of the day was ‘Focus.’

Table Topics Session was conducted by TM Adil as the Table Topics Master. He assigned some very interesting topics and speakers were asked how they will handle that particular situation. TM Fazal was asked, ‘As a doctor, what would you do for Pakistan?’ TM Shahrukh was asked, ‘How will you handle three girlfriends if they all know about each other?’ Madam TM Shabana was asked, ‘what will she do if she had lost all her luggage at the airport?’ TM Khalid was asked, ‘how to excel as an entrepreneur?’ he replied by saying only through hard work and by doing it professionally and honestly. TM Tahir was asked, ‘what will he do if his flight was five hours late?’ TM Mansoor was asked, ‘how will he react in a traffic jam caused by the VIP movement?’ TM Panjwani was asked, ‘what immediate measures will he take for Pakistan?’ He replied very wisely that no one realises the actual problem and that is a real problem.

TM Sajjad joined us very late but he was assigned a topic, ‘how to shift a responsibility from your head to other?’

Three speeches were presented in the Prepared Speeches session. First speech was delivered by TM Panjwani and it was evaluated by TM Sajjad. The title of his speech was ‘Communication Secrets.’ He presented project ten from the Competent Communicator manual. He said in his speech, ‘we must learn to say no.’

TM Aqeel presented project eight from the Competent Communicator manual. The title of his speech was ‘Thoughts become things.’ He was evaluated by TM Khalid. He said in his speech, ‘we can do it if we can visualise it.’
