Networking
- All OSA members & GESSians alike are welcome to post information
(thru Webmaster)
if they are interested in reaching out to more people in our community.
Interest Groups, Hobbies Groups or being in the same industry etc..
all are welcome to form their networking circles through us.
Priority is rightly given to members, of course GESSian non-members
are equally welcome.
Toastmasters
International
Song Cheng, our new exco member, is the current VP PR to Raffles
Town Toastmasters Club.
He is extending an invitation to all OSA members who are keen to
interact and meet more people.
"Toastmasters International is a leading movement devoted
to making effective oral communication a worldwide reality. Through
its thousands of member clubs, it contributes to the betterment
of mankind via its programme.
What are the benefits to the public?
The mission of a Toastmasters Club is to provide a mutually
supportive and positive learning environment. Such environment provides
members the opportunity to develop communication and leadership
skills.
Men and women, young and old will learn the arts of speaking,
listening and thinking. This allows us to foster self-confidence
and personal growth. There is another intangible benefit of networking.
The meetings or workshops provide an avenue to build contacts and
be exposed to opportunities, to find and learn from a mentor.
Raffles Town Toastmasters Club was chartered in April '03. In spite
of its youth, it already has an impressive growth in membership
of 37. The club has bi-weekly meetings at 7 p.m. on the first and
third Wednesday of the month in a conference room, Raffles Town
Club (RTC), 1 Plymouth Avenue along Dunearn Road.
Guests are welcome to these meetings to learn or evaluate the
activities in our club. As there is light refreshment in addition
to the usage of seminar hall, RTC charges a nominal fee of $9 and
$12 for RTC members and non-members respectively. We are positive
guests will reap higher value in enrichment and fun than the negligible
fee.
I look forward to meeting you at our sessions.
