I will use the following words to describe Oasis Toastmasters Club.
First is Warmth and Unity. After taking part in several meetings, I feel the very warm atmosphere in the Oasis Club. I feel that Oasis club treasure the value of guest. During the break of each meeting, I will not feel lonely as there are some members will take the initiative to talk with me .I also see that some members also actively chat with the new guests, helping them to know the clubs more.
At the dinner time, I also see that many members were willing to stay to chat together at the dinner table, that shows that they have the sense of belongings in the club .I appreciate that when there were the birthday of members or some members need to leave Hong Kong for a long time, there would be the celebration or farewell at the Dinner. This shows that the Oasis is just like a family. The members and guest can feel the sense of belonging to the club. No wonder the Oasis is the club which have the second largest additional members among English Toastmaster clubs in Hong Kong in the past year.
Second is Energetic, I see that the presidents as well as the oasis members are energetic in the meeting. The opening remark of president-Steve was powerful and energetic .Also the club updated the beautiful and professional webpage frequently and brings the latest news to the outsiders. This shows the energetic performance of Oasis Club. Also, the holding of different workshops let the guests and members know more about team building skills. That is great.
Third is Creativity. I remember that the prize given to the past president, Derek was a beautiful poster .The poster included different members’ comments to the presidents. I am surprised with the great artwork done by the committee members. I am sure that Derek loved it so much.
Forth is Quality. There are different Stars in the Club in speech and Evaluation like Grace, Derek, Ivy, Jimmy, Steve and other members. I learn a lot about the presentation skills from them.
Fifth is Continuous progress. The club is well prepared to accept the opinions of different members and guest. I suggest if possible each meeting includes different levels of the speech. For example, at a meeting included speech of both CC project and AC project. This can suit the needs of different members and guests.
I am sure that under the leadership of Steve and the great participation of committee’s members, the Oasis will become the biggest and the best English Toastmasters Club in this year.
