Many members left the city heading to their hometown already, many was busy on packing for a long journey. While our 3 prepared speakers kept their commitments. Reda persuaded us make people action by thinking their own interest, this powerful speech won him the best prepared speaker of the meeting. Our new but active member Jimmy told us his plan of the spring festival holiday and shared us the process of planning. The third speaker was our president Emily, she told us her own experience with beggars in the street and revealed a dream of her that help the unlucky person to improve their ability.

We also enjoyed a challenging table topic session. Thanks for the perfect preparation of the table topic master Parkman and all the 10 attendents, we all answered questions related to spring festival. Our new member Allen, who came from a club in Beijing, won the best table topic speaker award by describing the folk story of the mystery monster "year".

We were short of hands to take roles, so most members took more than one role to make the meeting going. However, we had enough courage and enthusiasm to fullfill the requirement of a successful meeting.

Happy Chinese new year, fellow Toastmasters!
