Being a special day, table topics session was replaced by a games session conducted by gamesmaster Shanmugam.

Kicking off right on time, I, ranjit was given the honour of being the Toastmaster of the evening and it turned out to be a truly wonderful day for me because everyone present for the meeting participated and there were lots of prizes that were given out to the winners of the games session. Syamala gave a very encouraging Invocation on how to live life fully everyday.

We had 2 speeches. 1) Ranjini gave her 3rd speech from the C&L manual, titled "Why do Marriages Fall Apart". She definitely kept everyone glued to her through out her speech.

2) Michelle, delivered her speech number 7, titled "Hunger". Michelle put up a strong case on why everyone shld adopt a child especially from the 3rd world countries. We got to see the picture of a young Indian child she has been sposoring for a couple of years now. Job well done.

The evaluation session was conducted effectively (as always) by Chandran and Lucky respectively.

Ivan, as the GE, payed glowing tribute to the club for meeting on a very auspicious day and hoping that we continue this enthusism throught out the full year ahead.

Another wonderful session... but then what else can we expect from a bunch of wonderful BANGSARIANS!

We did miss the presence of the rest of the members tho'.

Let's keep on having the same kind of fun.
