GENERAL MEETING - 182

GENERAL MEETING:182

Meeting no.:182

Venue: VGU  Board Room

Time: 12:30-02:30

THEME:"PATIENCE"

With keeping this theme in mind a general meeting was organized in VIT Toastmasters which was initiated by SAA Tm Rishabh introducing the basic rules of meeting.

The TMOD Tm Saurabh initiated the meeting with a sweet and knowledgeable anecdote. Which made every person  feel about the value of patience. The anecdote goes like:

A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl in her basket.

As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her mother told her no. The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss.The mother said quietly, 

“Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through; don’t be upset. It won’t be long.”

Soon they came to the candy aisle, and the little girl began to shout for candy. And when told she couldn't have any, began to cry. The mother said, 

“There, there, Monica, only two more aisles to go, and then we’ll be checking out.”

When they got to the check-out stand, the little girls immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there would be no gum purchased.The mother patiently said, 

“Monica, we’ll be through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap.”

The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped the woman to compliment her.

“I couldn't help noticing how patient you were with little Monica,” he said.
Whereupon the mother said, 

“I’m Monica . . . my little girl’s name is Tammy.” 

The meeting had four sessions.

First session was prepared speech session in which speakers were guided from their modules. Second session was Table Topic session in which members got a topic to speak with their instantaneous thoughts. Third session was Evaluation session in which evaluators gave their feedback for the speakers guided by modules and FourthSession was announcing the winners (i.e. best speaker, best table topic speaker, best evaluator).Students justified the theme “Patience" well with active and free delivery of their thoughts in all the four sessions of the meeting.
