If you want to learn more about Toastmasters, you have to
serve as the club EVP; if you want to be advanced, you have to serve as the
club president.
Dear fellow members, thank you for providing me this opportunity.
In the year 2001, when I was serving as
Feng Yung Toastmasters Club president, I sponsored chartering New Century
Bilingual Toastmasters Club and then, for the following years, I have enjoyed
being one of the members of this happy family.
I turned down the opportunities to be the club president, just slept and
dreamed that life was “Beauty”. However,
for some reasons, I suddenly awake and find life is “Duty”, it is the right
time to do the right thing for the right club, so I stop the buck right here.
NCBTC is not perfect, but it is as good as
it gets. In the past 13 years, all the
club presidents and officers were just like the corner stones, our culture the rock bottom, fellow
members the sands
and cement, our friendship and passions were just like the water,
we mixed and glued together, we jointly constructed NCBTC this firm and shiny
stage. Most importantly, the past glories of
the club are just like the spot lights, they made the stage shiny. In the past, we are so proud as in
Communication track, we have District and Pan Asia champions, while in
Leadership track, we are the District governor’s home club. (If these are not the club glories, then what
else is the club glory?) 如果這不是我們的榮耀 那什麼才是榮耀? Today, I am so lucky to be the 14th
club president and be able to lead our members to learn, grow and have fun in
the spot light of this stage. Basing on these firm foundations, let us find
more quality members, bring out the best in us, create more glories in the
future
Most welcome guests, thank you for coming
to this ceremony, thank you for supporting NCBTC all the way. Having your
ongoing supports, now I am confident! Fellow
officers and members, thanks for your trusts in me. “Toastmasters” is thing of TEAM work, without
your support, I can’t accomplish anything.
Now I
am ready to serve, are you ready to support? 承先啟後 繼往開來
Let’s work together in NCBTC’s spot lights create a new
era from our past glories.
