Dear members of Division A,
“The deepest joy of belonging comes as one learns to co-operate, contribute and help..” Dr Ralph C. Smedley
“An unbroken spirit is something you cannot live without. After all the buts and ifs, it is the courage of conviction and power of tenacity that can move things and will make all dreams possible.” Author Unknown
Last night together with Area A4 Gov Ng Chee Hau and President J. Kannan, we submitted the new Club Charter Application Form for JB Tamil Toastmasters Club, the ever first Tamil Club in Southern Malaysia. Our motto is “Never give up” “WE CAN DO IT AND WE MUST DO IT”. What a GREAT way to end our term for 2009/2010.
Upon the successful chartering of this Club, Area A4 will be a President’s Distinguished Area! Congratulations to Area A4 Gov Chee Hau and the Charter President J. Kannan.
It has been an eventful and memorable term for me as your Division A Governor. The success and honor as a President’s Distinguished Division belong to each and every member of Division A. We worked as a TEAM. We have become better people through our working together and overcoming the challenges together. This is the Power of WE.
As of now and pending updates from TI, our Division has achieved the following amongst other things:-
- A growth from 16 Clubs to 19 Clubs; new clubs -Politeknik Merlimau Toastmasters Club, GP Toastmasters Club, JB Tamil Toastmasters Club
- 6 Clubs achieved President’s Distinguished Club status
- 3 Clubs achieved Select Distinguished Club status
- 2 Clubs achieved Distinguished Club status
I wish to accord my heartfelt appreciation and thanks to the following:-
Area Governors Azizah, P. Andy, KC Yip and Chee Hau, for your commitment in holding the fort in your respective Areas, your efforts and contributions to all the members in your Areas.
Asst DvGov-Education & Training, Mohd Awee for your tireless efforts and invaluable contributions in conducting workshops and travelling to the various Clubs to assist and encourage the members.
Asst DvGov-Marketing, Ong Hong Siong, DvPRO Eng Suan, Division Secretary, Diana Gomez and Division Treasurer, Bin Yuen for your contributions to the success of our Division and assisting me in so many ways despite your other commitments.
Immediate Past Dv Gov, Bernard Wong and his team, Jason Kum, Mohd Awee, Ong Hong Siong, Liza Alip, Tan Eng Suan and Mohd Dzuhairy and others for their involvement in the IRDA project. To me it was a success because we could share the benefits of Toastmasters to so many individuals. We had empowered at least 172 individuals to realize their dreams and find the courage to change.
To all Club Presidents and their Executive Committee Members, thank you for all your hard work and sacrifices you had displayed in order to achieve your Club’s goals.
To each and every member of Division A, thank you for support and your commitment to grow and achieve. Without your commitment and effort to pursue your educational and leadership programs, Division A will not succeed. You had made possible the victory of our Division.
THANK YOU!
The Toastmasters organization has brought to many - Competence, Confidence and Character.
The mountain of learning has no peak.
Climbing it is its own reward.
Let us all continue to learn as we serve and help each other. Learning is a treasure that does not leave you.
“We work together to bring out the best in each of us and then we apply our skills to help
Lastly, I wish the incoming DivA Gov, ACB Azizah Abu Hassan and her team “EVERY SUCCESS”. I am very sure that you and your team will bring Division A to yet another level of achievement.
Shaping our Future Together
With Thanks & Gratitude
Cindy Wong
