Club-Hopping at NXP Philips, Calamba - A Dramatic Talk

Today, I was given a Toastmasters token (pen holder that looks like a lectern) by Area Governor Carina "Bobbie" Galang while club hopping at NXP TMC in Calamba, Laguna. These tokens were handed out in a recent convention I was unable to attend.

I also delivered the Dramatic Talk speech entitled "A Christmas Ride With My Kawasaki Girl". This is one of a few club-hopping sessions I did with NXP (Philips Semiconductors) in Calamba.

INTRODUCTION

Hello! Is there anyone here who ever had a chance to ride an ambulance? Not a parked, stationary ambulance, but a live ambulance with the lights blinking and the sirens blaring (gesture lights and sirens).

(If someone answers, ask if as a patient or passenger) Well, to those who have not had the chance to ride one, let me ask you this. Do you find it infuriating when an ambulance zigzags through traffic and pushes its way like a bully, only for you to find that there is no patient and no passenger inside? It’s just the ambulance driver driving like a bully?

Long ago, I had that feeling. But that was until I personally had the chance to ride an ambulance myself. Good evening everyone.

Meeting at the New Rel Lab Office

Attending today's meeting were: Gerry Ong, Mic Tuason and me. Discussed briefly was a meeting to be scheduled in mid-December which will be the venue for an initial convention of those interested in joining Toastmasters. The media campaign was also briefly discussed. In addition, officers will also be talking personally with engineers as prospective members for the club.

Here's a sample of the flyers and will be the first to be posted on the bulletin board:

Meeting at Alfie's Room

Attending today's On Semiconductor Club meeting were: Alfie Suarez, Dan Benig, Gerry Ong and me. The survey drafted by Dan was sent out yesterday and the results were discussed today.

Meeting at Onsemi ER Room

At the Onsemi ER room, a meeting was held to discuss possible action items regarding the problems plaguing the Toastmasters club. This was brought about by the issue of still un-renewed club dues for October, 2006.

An email was sent by Area Governor Carina "Bobbie" Galang on this. Attending the meeting were Officers Gerry Ong, Mic Tuason, Dan Benig and myself. Also in the meeting was HR Mgr Alfie Suarez. Some of the items discussed was whether and how better can the club serve the needs of employees.

INTRODUCTION

Good Evening Toastmasters!

You guys still remember my recent wonderful speech entitled “That Extra Mile”, right? That speech was my contest piece where I told the story of my first time to ride a plane, go to the U.S. and meet an incredible person by the name of Jim Bradley. Yes?

Now, if you remember, after helping me at the airport, Jim helped me register in a motel just for an overnight stay. So you still remember it up to that point.
