Bedok Toastmasters Club Installation Night, 23rd Jun 2011

Installation Nights at Bedok Toastmasters Club has been lively with presence of special guests, fellow members, friends and family. We are blessed to have Mike to install new Executive Committee members smoothly and formally. I believe certain degree of formality is required as these members are truly responsible for the next twelve months of the club’s future. Our Installation Nights are also interesting because we will have a speaker talking about something out of the Toastmasters Movement.

This year Installation Night, we have a room-full of members and guests.


The occasion was graced by many guests invited by the members too.


Toastmaster of the Evening called upon Installation Master, District Governor Michael Rodrigues DTM.


The Executive Committee 2010-2011 was discharged


The new Executive Committee was installed – Immediate Past President Saint, SAA Shirley, Treasurer Chris, Secretary David, VP Membership Edward, VP Education Damian and Club President Philip.


President’s Inaugural Speech – GROW


Guest of Honor, Mr Larry Chua, Chairman of Bedok Community Center Management Committee and Division Governor Michael Rodrigues DTM


DTM Mike presents token of appreciation for Bedok CCMC Chairman for being very supportive throughout the journey of Bedok TMC. Bedok TMC can conduct chapter meetings in this decent conference room and yet charge the members the lowest membership fees. We wouldn’t be able to do that without the support of CC.


This is the fun element – Chris’s Bedok Extra Toast Award (BETA) to Mike



The occasion was graced by the presence of Lieutenant Governor Education and Training Patrick Oei

It was a pleasant surprise for Chia and Larry. They met again a few decades after their pre-U student life.


The night is still young, the food are still there (a lot, in fact)
